I anticipate that the different focuses on approaches in education in this course will enable us to gain a full understanding of the effective uses of technology from multiple perspectives. This appeals to me because I am often tasked to develop online resources that not only encourage the use of technology, but also hopefully serve as educational motivation. Looking at the three focuses will reinforce the importance of making learning with technology an intuitive process and maximize our effectiveness as instructional designers.
I intend on completing all three projects this quarter. I work as a Technical Coordinator in the Literacy Center here on campus, so I will try to develop projects that increase the Center’s marketability as well as my personal development. For the first project I plan on researching software and tools available that I can utilize to increase efficiency and workflow and streamline routine processes. I will then calculate the time savings and overall effectiveness of these tools. For the second project I will develop 3 podcasts describing best practices for tutoring children who are struggling with literacy. For the technology infrastructure plan, I will draw up a program for implementing a series of podcasts demonstrating best tutoring practices and strategies for improving the literacy skills in children grades K-12. These podcasts will be distributed to local schools and will be accessible to all of our Center’s community partners. I will provide an executive summary, technical details, development plan, required budget, project benefits/liabilities and proposed means of evaluating the program’s effectiveness.
