Being that I do not have my own class to teach yet and investigate whether it fits in the 21st century classroom. I did the walkthrough on a class that I am taking now and the results weren't bad in terms of the checklist. I learned that there are many adjustments that instructors need to make to fit this checklist. Some are open to it but others are kind of stubborn in their ways. At the end of the day, Instructors/Teachers need to realize that this is how students are learning nowadays and the focus is the engagment of the student, not their comfort level. This checklist had may points that most people wouldn't think of implementing in their lessons and/or courses. Click here to view my MNW Walkthrough Form.

Integrating Digital Technology

I am big into technology. Some may say I am a nerd when it comes to it. In Education there are so many tools that can be added into the classroom that will interest the students and keep them engaged. Thus forcing them to become self-learners.

My assignment in my Selection and Integrations class was to find 5 instances of Integrating Technology within my field of interest and to identify which cell in the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) it relates or lands under then taking 3 of the 5 up a notch.
