Innovation in technology is helping teachers in the workplace.
Good course
The options available in the activity could fit into other categories depends on your experiences and how you refer back to your own practice.
Not bad. I'm looking at introducing more innovative features in September
Some though provoking questions from this module
This was quite enjoyable. It helped me consider just how much our cohort and team have tested and experimented with technology and that we have done so successfully.
New ideas.
Good module , many thanks .
I've earnt a badge - thanks
Good to find new technologies and improved ways of using old tec
This provided food for thought
If it ant broke dont fix it is good. Why reinvent the wheel. Time, Time, Time is required.
I do not wish to provide feedback at this time. Thank you very much indeed.
Got to guard against change just for the sake of changing, especially with new technology. The example given in the task about adopting the new version of software is a good example - a new version is not necessarily a better version for you and your students.
Another tricky one.
Interesting
Thanks
Good details - useful
Very subjective information
This is good module.
I need to be able to compare my answer with the correct answer.
Throughout this CPD with the drag boxes - if you get it the wrong first time I would rather be able to edit than reset as it resets everything and there might be something you know is right and didn't need to move.
It took me a few times reading through to understand what was being asked. The statements were a bit wordy that we had to decide between and it was difficult to keep concentration.
I found this difficult as the answers were not supportive of the innovation matrix
Thought this module was a bit subjective.
I'm not sure the interactive quiz was setup correctly. It said put the options under the 4 headings but only 3 were visible.
