Applied Digital Learning
Let's go start the journey
5305 Disruptive Innovation 5302 Eporfolio
This journey has had many frustrating, worrying, uncertain, happy, and satisfying moments. Without fear of being wrong, doing this Master's has been one of the best decisions of my life; challenging yourself every day to achieve a goal is exciting
5302 Concepts of Educational 5304 Leading Organization
When I read the Concepts of Educational Technology assignment in the summer, I imagined many technological terms; I do not know why I thought of hardware and software! I am fascinated with the concept of Mindset and the growth and evolution of the learning system based on how we nourish and stimulate the mind.
5313 Learning Environment 5389 Professional Learning
I am convinced that continuous learning allows us not to age our minds; even though the appearance is different, the brain and its capabilities can remain current.
My dad is 75 years old; he is an economist by profession and has been a professor of econometrics at the university for over 25 years. He recently decided to train himself and learn the trade of gardening. When I asked him why he wanted to learn something so opposed to his acquaintance's line of interest, your response was revealing... I need my brain to feel recharged by unknown things...
Thus, I concluded that of the five and six assignments of my Master's degree, these have undoubtedly taken me the most out of my comfort zone: designing learning plans for children. It is the daily dynamic, and although we will never be perfect, it is a well-worked topic that can give you the peace of mind that you already know how to do it.
But what happens when the proposal is that you are the one who must design a complete professional learning plan for teachers? Wow, what an adventure.
5315 Assess Digital Learning 5317 Resources Digital
Mechanisms and measurement models to assess the impact and result of the innovation proposal: I must confess that just like the first time, developing Literature is one of the most challenging assignments. I have analyzed why, and perhaps it is because the Latin American education system focuses on memorization instead of research, and a lot of research is needed here.
Having a voice and expressing your beliefs is a great opportunity that freedom gives, and that was the case for me. Resources of digital environments: it was exciting to develop a publication article; thanks to my article, I had the opportunity to research and read several authors who present the benefits of keyboarding, so it was like my mantra during these assignments; it has also been a great revelation to show that there is still a lot to research and make known about this skill.
