E Learning week 1

Today was the beginning of my E learning journey. During the class, we had identified that technology has many benefits within education while using multiple technologies and applications. ICT allows educators to support students ability to become self learners and engage in learning, while also creating, and building upon skills like synthesising information. Even though this was my first lesson, I was amazed of the versatility and possible future strategies' that I will be able to implement via the use of ICT. Viewing the content on Moodle regarding generation Z, I was able to totally relate to the thought processes that this generation has to offer, "Bigger picture questions." However back in my younger days, we did not have the web and the technology's that we have today. I believe that this is why I felt suppressed and bored when I was going through my schooling years. The generations now have access to unlimited information, and it was this that I wanted to be apart of within my generation, that I was unable to attain. This course has already given me a sense of reassurance, that the way I was educated was wrong, and has highlighted to me that next generation of teachers must not make the same mistakes as in the past. I'm finding the video clips and content on Moodle fascinating, while also making connections to other content that is fueling my curiosity for amazing thoughts, from amazing people all over the world.
