The Potential of Digital Video
Students today live in a multimedia world and appreciate variety in their learning environment. Videos can create a very stimulating environment for the learner. It has the ability to provide a unique learning experience, one which will engage the student in ways beyond traditional textbook and lecture. The use of video as part of a lesson plan help students understand concepts and retain information, but it also has the effect of increasing the students’ enthusiasm about the information presented to them and causes them to become more motivated to learn. Scientific research has demonstrated that the use of video in the classroom improves learning, retention and test scores. According to Lightbody (p.1, 2004) ‘students find video motivational and enjoy greater control over their own learning (it is easy to start, stop or replay video segments)’.
Benefits for pupils
Through working with digital video pupils can:
- express their ideas
- engage in depth with a narrative or other piece of content
- develop their understanding of a sequence of events
- monitor and measure physical phenomena
- reflect on their learning
Benefits for teachers
Digital video provides teachers with stimulating material that can be used by individuals, groups or the whole class by using display technologies such as a digital projector or an interactive whiteboard.
Through working with digital video teachers can:
- illustrate concepts and physical phenomena through a visual medium, allowing questioning, explaining and modelling with the whole class or groups
- encourage talk as a tool for thinking and learning, allowing pupils to engage in exploratory
- talk or reasoning as they are engaged in collaborative activities
- encourage pupils to reflect, allowing time in the plenary session to review pupils’ work so they can contemplate what they have learned.

The Internet in Education
This assignment entailed building and posting information on a website and creating a blog.
The website I constructed can be accessed at http://corinth.edu.tt. This web site was constructed using Microsoft Office Front page and was built using frames.
This website was designed to share information with my students. Besides the page which contains my profile, the other pages contain three assignments that my students at the training college will be asked to do.
Websites which are accessed via the Internet can be a valuable tool in education today. For example when we connect our schools to the internet, we are connecting to more information sources than we ever thought possible. We can access many major university libraries and research archives that are made available by governments and universities around the world. The information on the internet can be historical, or up to the minute
Students can use the internet as another resource for information, just as they use the library resources and periodicals now. When using the internet, however, they will always have access to the information.
Blogs
My blog can be accessed at the following site:http://ctcol.blogspot.com The name of the blog is “Educational Technology”. The focus of this blog is to discuss the uses of various technology in education. To make the blog more user-friendly I added a photograph of myself. I believe that fellow bloggers will feel more comfortable exchanging ideas if they can associate a face with the blog.
Weblogs are a great communications tool and they are also a great way to organize information. From a teaching standpoint, they can be used as online classroom portals, discussion sites, filing cabinets for handouts and syllabi, collaboration spaces and personal portfolios. I think the easiest place to start is to use the Weblog as a homepage for a class to post homework assignments, links, discussion questions, etc. Weblogs can also be a valuable tool for the reflective practitioner.
In the case of students I think that the most obvious uses for Web logs are as online filing cabinets and/or portfolios. A Weblog is a great tool for students to organize their work and to reflect on their progress. A Weblog can be an archived record of effort and learning that students can build upon from year to year. Other uses include collaborative work space, online journal or reader response type work and research journal.
Technology can truly advance the way we look at education and should be seriously considered as a learning tool.

Video can truly enhance a lesson on a given topic. Pupils will not only be stimulated and motivated to learn but also have better understanding and retention of information.

Technology is the way of the future. Therefore when teachers integrate the use of technology into the curriculum, they are making learnng more effective and meanigful because they are not only catering for the differnt learning styles of children but also chilren are being exposed to how technology is being used as well.
YOUR PICTURE IS UGLY.

I do agree that tecnnology would be a vital tool in the delivery of the educational curriculum.Unfortunately, we live in a country where a lot is said and nothing is done.
It would be a miracle if i end up in a skool where there is a network of fully functional computers connected to high speed internet access... But guess what . . . I can dream .. can't i ??

The use of computer technology is expanding rapidly throughout all levels of the education system. However, as with any new technology that is introduced and used, those administering the knowledge especially in the primary schools must be competent and well equipped to not only pass on relevant information but also be critical thinkers of the use of the technology in other areas and its long term benefits and challenges.

Educational Technology and the use of ICT in education is one of the important fundamentals in using technology. Creating a blog will not only send this message, but also allows the user some measure of confidence in using this software.
This could be a very helpful tool in the classroom. It will allow the teacher to assign homework and answer questions online.
As a new Ed. Tech. student i am extremely excited to be a part of this programme. I hope that upon commencement of this course I would be better equipped to reach my students in the classroom.
asha
this course has opened my mind to expore this different uses of technology in my class room.it is interesting and i can't wait to start using it in my classroom.

hi sir, wonderful class on monday. the revision on powerpoint really made me become aware of the amazing effects that you can create on the programme. cant wait to use it in my classroom.
Glad to be part of this blog, Edtech is very new to me, however I have made many inroads into the use of this form of technology. It has motivated me to explore teaching in a new light.

Educational Technology is very important for us as teachers so that we can assist our pupils and prepare them for the technological age, which is advancing faster than we can think about Every household must be able to have access to a computer if we are talking about educational technology.
Educational Technology will definitely make our work easier and more manageable as teachers, thus making a great impact on teaching and learning.This requires of us to have a different mind set on the issue in order to achieve positive goals in this era of development.
i thoroughly enjoy your sessions. it highligts the need for the modernization of our current education sytem. it also stresses the demand for the educator of the twenty first century to be apt the software applications which may considerably reduce the time and the number of activities the teacher engages in preparation and during lessons and other activities mandatory of the professional educator. in addition it entices and attracts the student attention which is gagne's first mode for effectual teaching
Before I started Ed. Tech. I was quite knowledgeable and experienced with the application of technology in an office environment. Now, being in the teaching profession, and pursuing this course, I am really astounded at how technology can be successfully applied to the classroom / school environment.
Can't wait to use these tools and strategies in my classroom.
In my opinion edducational technology assists a teacher in developing a constructivist approach to teaching since it allows for a collaborative learning exprience between students,teachers and peers.The integration of this dicipline into the school's curriculum will motivate students and icrease their productivity. Educational technology will definetly help me in becoming an effective teacher.
Ooops !the word is increase.Sorry.
The computer and thus internet is very useful to all aspects of schooling and education in the modern society that we live in. Teaching and learning becomes very effective using technology in the classroom since it is easy to use and access and students become more involved instead of being bored or disinterested.
Electronic Mail (e-mail)- Electronic mail can be a very useful in the classroom. This is where students who may be a bit shy in the classroom can voice there thoughts and opinions on concepts to the teacher using electronic mail. By doing this, students will be able to expand their horizon since they will be thinking and clarifying their thoughts.
Microsoft Excel increases the productivity of the teacher. Using this package the teacher can keep proper records of attendance,students' performance and can also predict changes as long as proper formulas are used. Teachers can also provide effective feedback to parents on their child's performance since marks/grades can be orderly laid out using excel. Inconsistencies can further more be highlighted and remedied.
probably wonderig who is tammy. it is akeela jones alpha 1
Ed Tech has been really fun thus far. Before this course i had a basic understanding of computers but this course has really been helpful, i am enjoying it alot....
In becoming a teacher I can definitely see myself incorporating technology into the classroom, it makes learning so much easier, it really is a big help.
we are living in the age of technology, we need to keep up with our students and bring technology into the classroom.
i am glad to a part of this ed tech course, it has been helpful to me, i have become more interested in technology and now i recommend the use of it to everyone.
i have found that technology really does motivate students in the classroom. when technology is involved they are so much more willing to participate.
This class has exposed me to a wealth of information that i had no idea ever existed previously . I got a chance to explore the cardinal points of technology use in education . THE use of technology can enhance learning immensely and also act as a motivating factor, it also saves time for teachers and enhance instruction thereby ensuring the effective execution of the learning process.the internet can be used to reserach information and a vast amount of information is avaible on the internet which is readily and easily avaible to techers and students alike.
the internet is a vital tool in education since information is readily and easily avaible for both teachers and students alike. It helps saves time and more information is readily avaible.

I am particularly interested in learning about the new and emerging technologies in education - iPod, Pod Casting, Bluray etc. ......never heard of those terminologies before.
I would like to know what they actually are and how they can be applied to the classroom / school situation.
I think that the Problem Based Learning Project is really interesting and challenging. In totality, it encompasses the objectives of the Educational Technology course. It allows us as future teachers to work co-operatively in groups and devise strategies that would be implemented to enhance teacher’s instruction and track students’ performance. It depicts a very “real” problem solving situation that exist in our schools today. When I resume teaching, I’d like to be on a committee for a project of this nature.
I feel that Educational Technology was a well designed and organized course. Our Instructor, Mr. Birbal, must be highly commended for his outstanding ability to disseminate his knowledge and skills with great clarity.
This course has provided me with a deep knowledge on the use of technology in the school environment - with main emphasis on classroom applications, which I will be utilizing in the future.
Helpful Hint: PowerPoint
When you insert an auto shape over text in a textbox in PowerPoint, it usually comes up colored.
In class, these steps were used: Format, Auto Shape, Transparency (increased) for the text
to show.
Another alternative is that you can firstly select your Auto shape, use Draw(usually at the bottom left hand corner of the screen) (View Toolbars –Drawing
if it’s not present), Order, Send behind Text/Send backward/Send to Back.
Mr. Birbal its me Donna! How are you? Hope you enjoyed your easter.
After several attempts of accessing Jacquline's website I can say I made it. It feels good.
Mr. Birbal,
It's me Donna. Hope you are fine.
I must say I am enjoying this Blog thing.
You will be happy to know I am now confident in terms of using the internet. In the beginning I felt lost when you mentioned terms such as
Search Engines and Browsers.
It is true . We actually learn by
doing.
Mr. Birbal,
Good Evening! Donna here! I must say I am learning alot in terms of computers.
I particularly enjoyed the session about "Integrating Technology In the Classroom". Drill and Practice as well as Tutorials can be fun for pupils and us teachers. Pupils can enjoy learning and our work is now easier.
I am no expert in technology but I am improving as time goes on. As they say practice makes perfect.
Mr. Birbal,
How are you? Donna here again and having fun blogging.
I must say I enjoyed the Group Presentations on the different topics. Alot was learnt in terms of technology. It was nice to have us students in front of the class cooperating and learning from each other.
At first I was nervous. However, I felt confident having my collegues there supporting me.
Mr. Birbal,
It's me Donna on the Blog! Hoping you are fine and taking it easy on the Home Work.
So far, I enjoyed our practicals. I have learnt alot in terms of Power Point, Database, Hyperlinks and Microsoft excel among others.
I encountered some problems in the various areas but was able to overcome them through practice. Computer requires practice and practice makes perfect.
Mr. Birbal your class has been informative and enjoyable. It is alot to take in but we are getting there. Continue the great job!
Drill and Practice is a very useful instructional software in the classroon. Students gain a lot of practice using drill and practice software which can reinforce topics dealt with. This software can also seek to not teach a topic but reinforce the concept being practiced through hyperlinks to the internet that can give further readings.
Mr. Birbal Im finally on my last blog entry, thank God, however, I must say that your class is very interesting and all concepts dealt with in the area of Educational Technology will be put to use in the classroom as long as infrastructure presents themnselves. You have showed us how technology can make our job less stressful and at the same time encouraging our students to be up to date with the technological age.
technology has proven to be an effective measure for motivating and drawing the attention of students.if appropraitely used in the classroom the benefits for both students and teachers would be immense.in fact students may act as teacher, informing the educator of current and upgraded technological devices.
from a personal standpoint technology has proven to be valuable tool in exposing me to new and intriguing experiences and more importantly in completion of most of my assignments. this spells a number of positive and negative implication for student who are already attuned to these devices. therefore if implemented what measures would be in place to ensure its appropriate use?
as the gateway to the future, it important that the education system seriously implement the use of technology in schools as it acts as a portal to the rest of the world. the effects of globalization has also made this mandatory.
Using instructional software such as instructional games, drill and practice and tutorials in the classroom can provide the teacher with new ways in revising concepts previously taught. This can also be used as a tool for capturing student’s attention, motivating students and reinforcing them. I cannot wait to use instructional software in my classroom.

Mail merge is one of the easiest ways teachers and principals can write a large number of of letters to parents in a significantly short space of time .In opinon all schools should have a data base from which they can select information from so that mail merge can be used efficiently.
the internet is avital tool in education. It serves many purposes for both teachers and students alike. TEACHERS can accesss websites such as google earth to teach students subjects such as geography since students acn access this website and look at the various geographic areas around the world. Students can also use the internet for research purposes and use weblogs to organise their work.
THE USE OF POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS AND DIGITAL VIDEO CAN ENHANCE INSTRUCTION IMMENSELY.pOWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS CAN BE USED INSTEAD OF THE CONVENTIONAL TALK AND CHALK METHOD WHICH IS OUTDATED AND DOES NOT TRULY MOTIVATE STUDENTS. tHE USE OF POWER POINT PRESENTATIONS CAN INCREASE MOTIVATION BY MAKING LEARNING MORE INTERESTING.sOME SUBJECTS LIKE MATHEMATICS SOMETIMES PRIVE TO BE TOO DIFFICULT FOR SOME STUDENTS INCLUDING MYSELF NOW IT CAN BE FUN AND EXCITING WITH THE USE OF POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS.
hONESTLY I WAS EXPOSD TO THE VARIOUS USES OF POWERPOINT IN LEARNING AND THAT IT TRULY ENHANCES INSTRUCTION.
iNSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARES IS A VITAL TOOL IN EDUCATION. THERE ARE VARIOUS EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARES SUCH AS DRILL AND PRACTICE , INSTRUCTIONAL GAMES, SIMULATIONS AND SO FORTH. the use of these instructional softwares can increase the motivation of students immensely by making learning fun and interesting. I truly wish that i had the opprtunity to be exposed to such educational tools when i was going to secondary school because if i had i believe that subjects such as mathematics would have been truly interesting.students nowadays are blessed.
I was exposed to the use of spreadsheets in education during this course. Spreadsheets are programs designed to organise and manipulate numerical data. THE USE OF SPREADSHEETS IS BENEFICIAL TO ME AS A STUDENTS TEACHER BECAUSE IT WOULD SAVE TIME BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND HOURS CALCULATING AVERAGES AND RECORDING MARKS.DATABASE CAN BE USED TO TRACK STUDENTS PERFORMANCE AND ALSO STOR4E STUDENTS ACADEMIC RECORD AND PERSONAL INFORMATION.fOR ME THE USE OF SPREADSHEETS WOULD DEFINITELY EASE UP MY ADMINISTRATIVE LOAD AS A TEACHER AND IT ORGANISES DISPLAYS OF INFORMATION IN A NEAT AND ORGANISED MANNER. it CAN ALSO BE USED AS A MOTIVATIONAL TOOL TO WORK WITH.
responding to Alan's comment about problem based learning project i agree with what she said. The Problem based learning can help teachers to think abstractly and also challenges teachers. It is a very complex and challenging assignment which encourages us to work in groups and build partnerships to ensure the successful completion of the project. The structure of the project allows us to use everything that we have learnt and apply it in a real life scenario which would truly test how much we have learnt in this course.
It is truly a comlex and intense project that reqires alot of time and effort.
This course has truly enhanced my knowledge of the use of technology in education. I was expose to programmes and softwares that i had no idea ever existed. I can truly say that it was indeed a learning experience one which would benefit me in my future endeavors as a teacher. I would be able to apply the concepta and theories of educational technonlogy in the classroom when placed into a school to ensure the effective execution of the learning process.
Power point is a fabulous presentation tool when doing presentations for large audiences such as a lecture to an entire school or to a class. This will most definitely help to captivate the student's interest. As an educator I will most definitely use this kind of visual display in my classroom since it help to illustrate concrete examples of objects and shapes. This will help me to cater to the needs of my students who cannot think abstractly.
Hi Sir I realised i sent the same blog twice.Please forgive me for this mistake because i got disconnected twice while trying to blog this morning.It was definetly an accident.

This course was my very first indept introduction to computers. My previous experience with computers was restricted to typing various assignments.Therefore this course can be viewed as my genesis into the technological age
The term education have evolved with the many advantages created in the twenty first centurary by the advancement of technology.I have recently become aware of the many instructional software designed to help educate students.
Growth is an integral aspect of life and everyone makes mistakes. However when someone has erred it's not the error which defines him but the means by which he rises above the difficulty to achieve greatness.My group's powerpoint presentation had some mistakes, but we learned from this event and aspired to improve on our future projects and presentations. mistakes
The creation of the spreadsheet was challenging for me.I had to aquaint myself with the different formulas that would acctualey allow filling a spreadsheet to become easier.I did succeed nevertheless because of my desire to successfully complete this course to aid me in my future profession as a teacher.
Educational technology has compounded my excitement in wanting to teach. It have given me new ideas and opportunities to enhance the delivery of my knowledge unto my students.
the use of instructional software may be an effective for capturing the attention of the student.teacher can capitalized on this as a motivational strategies particularly aimed at "at risk students"

Finished posting, was fun!
Kaths said, instructional software is an asset in the classroom. All can be used depending on the purpose intended.For example,Drill And Practice can be used to develop mastery of lower order skills and assist in the transfer to LTM. Tutorials can be used when a teacher is absent and to help maintait discipline. Ireally like simulations as they make the impossible possible!
Kaths said,there are so many learning theories. Behavioural,Information Processing[Objectivists] and Constructivist. Each has their own view on learning and teaching. I adopt an eclectic approach as each theory has its strengths which can be applied in the classroom. For example,Operant conditioning can be used to modify behaviour. Through repitition children can encode information in LTM. I learned a lot and realized learning is lifelong!
Using mailmerge is a convient way of both parent and teacher keeping in constant contact.Information about grades, PTA meetins or any related school business can be communicated via email or post. Many parents complain about being unable to take time of from their busy schedule. This saves time and money.
Ilove the internet. It is a virtual library at my fingertips.Communication is so simple,emails can be sent in seconds. In the classroom, it can be used to encourage introverts and to access information.I dont like though,the online predators and the ease of access to any kind of information[porn!]
Powerpoint. Very powerful and breaks the monotony of chalk and talk. I love the animation and transitions. Children, especially love the multisensory appeal and can see the linkages. Powerpoint can be misused if is not accompanied by discussions............. On a lighter note,ed tech has been quite informative and fun. Sir you are indeed a wonderful teacher, and I really enjoyed your classes.
this course has expanded my knowledge on the uses of technology in the education system. frankly prior to this experience i never phantom that technology can be such a valuable resourse to schools. what is even more interesting about the system is that can be adapted to suit the needs of each individual, at all level of the educational system. it is appealing and enables anyone to recieve and communicate information from anywhere in the world efficiently
The difference between grade book and statistical packages.Grade book can allow a teacher to create their class or subject files(a wizard is included to assist new users), edit a class roster, including ID, home-contact information and comments enter ,edit grades and attendance classify each grade according to type, e.g., test, quiz, homework and view and print students' records in many different and useful ways . Statistical packages can perform similar functions but are more mathematical in nature. For example if I want to perform task such as mean, median and mode using the marks of the children in my class I do this using this tool. Isnt technology a wonderful thing.
Blog Entry 5 Dawn.R.
It finally worked and I am grateful.
Find me at http://isfajoy.blogspot.com
Thanks for the experience, Sir!!
After so long of trying to connect and post a blog i finally got through today, so five marks here i come.
The strating of educational technogy class posed a great threat for me as i did not have any previous knowledge of the subject, however as i advanced to my third week where i learnt about thr different communication devices, its advantages and disadvantages, i became more cognisant and open to learnt more.
Learning about the 'power' of power point left me feeling very amazed by its capabilities and contents. I am now in a place where i appeal visually to any delivery on any topic in the classroom. This would help in captiviting students attention and encouraging them to also be creative to make presentations in class on specific topics.
Spreadsheet was really hard boy. I catch real hell to do my part in the project. Anyway after all that trouble it turn out excellent i juust hope Mr. Birbal find so too.
The features of mail merge can prove to be very beneficial to teachers because they can automatically attach letters, permission slips and records. This would be very great for me personally because ido not like too much of hard work.
Sir this P.B.L. is real stress, right now it is 2:54pm on Saturday evening and we stuck doing this thing. Anyway when we done this i hope we get full marks. I now realise why you like technology so much Mr. birbal, it is facinating. Serious, the features that we have to incoperate into this project is very interesting and facsinatinfg, i now have a more cognitive affective apprecition for computer technology and how it can it help make teachers life easier.

I am greatful that I finally got the opportunity to blog. Prior to Ed.Tech. I was never interested in using blogs. I must say that I am indeed motivated to use the technology.
I wish to respond to Arlene's comments when she said "Technology is the way to the future." This is particularly true and the government of Trinidad and Tobago should consider the many benefits of the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning.
Candy I must say that was a joke after all mr. birbal is normally a goodlooking fellow, but the suit enhanced his appearance. Ha!
A very interesting course. I now see how I can use technology to enhance my teaching.
I must say that this course has taught me more than the one i paid $1200.00 for .Thank you for your skills in making learning simple.
You can find me at hptt://Debomgs.blogspot.com
The use of PowerPoint presentations can be very effective in teaching concepts in mathematics. PowerPoints can also be used to grasp students' attention when used as set induction.
Teachers' jobs can be a lot easier with the use of spreadsheets to calculate students' marks and assess students' performance.
This class was very interactive and I gained a lot of experience in using the different types of software available to enhance teaching as well as learning.
I do hope that there is the necessary technology in the school available to implement the technology that I have learnt in this course. This has truly been an extremely beneficial experience for me as a prospective teacher.

I was hesitant at first about this ed tech class. I thought it would just be a bevy of computer jargon that would be totally boring,but at this point in time I beg to differ.
Thus far PowerPoint has me fascinated. I love the level of creativity and potential it posseses for classroom practices in learning and teaching.
Anju.
Excel is complicated. It is to math related for my part and I hate Maths.
If I thought Excel was hard Acces is worse.I must admit though, it contains alot of features that can prove to be an asset to even the smallest institution.
I am in total awe of mail merge. Don't get me wrong.its not that I don't know about programs and stuff. Its just that I didn't get this in depth before. It's fascinating.
Anju
Every ship needs a good captain. Sir does a good job in steering this class. Keep up the good work.
Anju
This course has proven to be a real asset to me. I have seen the tremendous potential it consists of for me as a teacher.Ed Tech rocks!

technology stimulates students and increase their motivation to learn.
instructional games can be use to foster cooperation and group work ,it can be use as a reward, and can replace worksheets.
spreadsheets are great! you can store students information, and it saves a lot of time.
a database package is a piece of software that will be very useful in teaching.it can help teachers to organise and store information about students.
i have always been hearing about microsoft powerpoint from my friends and nephews. I always thought it was difficult, maybe because I did not know beyond basic technology. Now that i have been learning step by step, my lecturer, Mr. Birbal puts it across and simplifies everything about this topic. I am amazed at how exciting and how useful this microsoft powerpoint is.
I am now aware of all the benefits of the internet and how many programmes that are available to help me in my teaching profession. Not only can i motivate my students and have them wanting to do more studies, but I can also introduce more attractive methods of lesson delivery with the use of programmes such as simulations in the classroom.
now that i have learnt of creating furls, i can pass this information to my students in my future classrooms, making their workload, in terms of research alot easier. Now they can log on to a site and go directly to their furl with the websites saved for whichever type of information they are searching, instead of having to start all over every time they have research to do.
I was introduced to technology and what its functions are in the classroom. I was never the kind of person to spend a lot of time using the internet-usually when was necessary only. This educational technology course has changed my view and has been a great help to me thus far.
the first part of our educational Technology project was based on Microsoft word, access and excel.Never before was I aware of all the uses that Microsoft word had- in particular, mail merge. Now with this very useful tool, i am able to send multiple letters with the same format, addressed to different persons. In my classroom, this truly would be a tool that technology has made available to me to ease my workload as a teacher.
Based on my research on Problem Based Learning, the final part of my Educational Technology project, i was sensitized on many more software support tools that teachers can use to enhance their teaching strategy and to be able to track their students performance.
support tools such as desktop publisher where i can enhance my teaching materials- by creating flyers, brochures and further motivate my students by having them participate in online testing in programmes like student grading systems, where individual evaluations are generated and posted so that student's performance can be viewed even by their parents
In this everchanging world, we live, technology is ever-present and ever-changing,as teachers, we are to "keep up" with the times to portray "withitness" to be able to identify with our students. I believe that Educational Technology is a course that should be made mandatory for all persons pursuing a degree in the teaching profession.
