 EDUC 561

Educational Media and Technology: I took this course in 2020 Fall Semester. In this course, I have learned how to discover and use technology to educate, inspire, and motivate learners. It is crucial that as a student I have the opportunities to learn good technological and digital literacy skills as technology becomes ever-present in our lives. Via online learning, I exercised these talents, while also concentrating on key academic subjects and without the need for external funds.

Because of Covid-19 technology effect the world. Technology, particularly for young children and adults, has become a central part of our social lives. Via personal exchanges, online forums, and diverse social media, as a student I learned communication skills every day. Yet our universe is much smaller and less integrated without technology than it should be.

Dr. Amal Farhat had shared with us several online tools that can help our life to be much easier. These tools can be used by teachers, students, researchers, workers etc... Some of these tools are like: Google Form, Padlet, Whitboard, Zoom, Jamboard, Goformative, Kahoot....

Padlet is an online free service that is best described as a notice board online. Students and teachers may use padlets to post comments to a shared list. Links, photographs, photos and text files can be in the notes shared by teachers and students.

Formative is an evaluation method in which students will type, sketch, or upload photographs to illustrate their comprehension. And yes, Formative is the actual name of the site, but GoFormative is easier to monitor online (Twitter, Facebook, Google).

Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool which allows users to meet online, with or without video, using a local desktop client and a mobile app. Zoom apps, all in one easy-to-use platform, can opt to record sessions, work on projects, and post or annotate on each other's screens.
