Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology (3rd ed.).

 

1. I believe that Diigo website is a very great link for students and teachers because students who are raised in the 21^st century are technology savvy. These are students who already are on intermediate level by the time they are in high school. The problem teachers are facing is students are learning to use technology inappropriately while the traditional teacher is behind on technology strategies.  This is what causes your technology savvy students to become disruptive with the use of technology. Consequently, if we are not able to instructionally prepare our students for technology, then our students will never learn the art of controlling the technology. If students are not able to control the use of technology and how they use it, they could become bombarded with negative messages that can distract a student from the educational learning that takes place in the classroom.  Social bookmarking will make it much easier for students to communicate with their classmates, teacher, and be able to show their parents new articles that the teacher may have shared that can be useful and vice versa. Diigo makes collaboration happens between the teachers, students, and technology. Diigo link below:

2. How I thought that the definitions in the first chapter of the book Trends & Issues, is that we are dealing with the evolving merge of technology birth to humanity. It is constantly growing into new ways to use technology for educational purposes. When technology focused on media, however media has transitioned from the production of technology to the pre production process, which refers to “how to do.” My future career as a career technology instructor depends on my ability to keep up with the constant growth of technology and how it relates to my field of study, which is radio and television. On the other hand, technology can represent nursing, cosmetology, graphic arts, theatre arts and many other areas of interest. In all, I don’t believe technology can take away from the instructional learning, I do believe that it can enhance the learning of a variety of fields that are of value in the 21^st century.
