EdTEch Beginnings

During the summer of 2014, I was a visiting student at the University of Houston-Downtown, where I took the Advanced Educational Technology course that aimed to enhance the effectiveness of teachers by expanding and updating their understanding of technology and pedagogy. We focused on technology from three perspectives: as a tool, as a medium, and as a setting for learning, working with web-based instructional tools that support learning in communities. The presentation below showcases an assignment where we took a hardware field trip to a big box store to find useful devices for the classroom.
