Innovations in edtech are always appealing, but sometimes overpriced and take time learning how to use it to really benefit the learners.
Good course
I've been using a lot of tech and I consistently reflect on how to use these tools and improve them. I think I have a high level of innovative thinking and experimenting with tools and methods with my learners.
Interesting.
Collaborative development is always more difficult with a widely spaced (geographically) teaching staff.
Good
some good pointers that get lost in meetings
I found this made me think about which technologies I would find most useful and used some of the further links to resources to learn more about these technologies.
Not sure the innovations listed are innovations - been using Trello for years for example. AI learning is much more seismic
We all try and do our best to bring in new technology and ways of working - but sometimes time is so scarce we can not see that the benefits could outweigh the costs. Also with trying to ensure we are technology focused and on the agenda - we may lose sight of what is a novelty and what is not. Process Mapping should help save time in long run and help us to introduce innovative ways of working
I thought this was a good Module. Logging into Trello has changed, as it has now been acquired by Atlassian so I had to change my email address.
OK.
