1. Using Emerging Technologies By Eileen O’Connor, Ph.D. And peer & administrative support within Empire State College’s Center for Graduate Programs
2. The technologies and the sharing: the value of the Spiders Over the past few years, the following have been integrated into online courses: Streaming video case-studies for discussion Second Life Wikis (www.wetpaint.com ) YouTube for microteaching Ideas and support from the Spiders & from the graduate dean – critical for enabling the use of emerging technologies
3. To make online less text based and more truly interactive To continuously improve online courses so they can become more useful ways of creating a change in teaching practice Having administrative and peer support has furthered this dream considerably Some evidence on the following slides Personal motto
4. Beginning with streaming video Giving online pre-service teachers a better opportunity to see effective teaching
5. Urban students with creative lessons were taped & then streamed into courses Online graduate students were able to consider best practices that they were not necessarily seeing in their K12 observations Students showed concern & repartee & respect for each others ideas
6. Second Life Interactivity and personalization for graduate courses Extended interaction opportunities Across geography & disciplines A virtual meeting space, discussion area, and classroom
16. Best expressed through an instructional metaphor: like designing an intelligent experience (field trip / discussions / role playing / construction) . . . with an assessment More advanced uses
17. Using wikis Testing ways to encourage better peer networking Creating real resources that can be used later
19. Findings & conclusions – no longer the vacuum of lost work – open education The peer assessment was an important facet of expanded learning

21. YouTubes Posting their microteaching lessons – within an online course Better review: By content-pedagogy faculty Assessment of use of technologies Better collegiality and knowledge of the students Easy to use / excellent for performance based assessment
25. The support, sharing, & encouragement have been the most critical elements Ideas from colleagues; willingness to share and experiment Managerial support – ESSENTIAL if faculty are to embrace tech; especially early implementers UNDERLYING THEME WITH NEW TECH: How do we value, integrate, measure, assess, and update-our-thinking about the affordances available with these amazing new communication tools?
Hinweis der Redaktion
Instructors can not simply give the assignment and then return and grade a finished product; the teacher is now involved in the outcome and the way it can / might look to the world ; I didn’t put my name on the finished product
For example, the instructor was able to get a very good perspective on the technology and science-lesson skills of the student.
