ETEC 565M - Mobile Education
Mobile Learning:
The structure of this course closely resembled ETEC 522 which is part of the reason why I decided to take this course. I remember I had learned a great deal in ETEC 522, and I had a strong interest in learning more about mobile education. The course itself was more than just learning about mobile education, but once again we were exploring and discussing the possibilities for the future. What might mobile learning look like and what are some of the key technologies that will impact this were questions that we had to deal with. As with seismic waves the ideas that were presented in this course was like a giant seismic wave washing over me filling me with new energy.

M101 Blog:
This artefact shows the M101 blog which is intended for UBC staff and students. We as a class were contributing research, information and ultimately different posts and lessons to this blog. My lesson was on the Versatility of WordPress and different ways that this program can be used. By this point in the course I am becoming more comfortable with writing my work and allowing it to be viewed and critiqued by the general public. In many ways I prefer that my work will "live on" and hopefully provide insight for others.
Weekly Presentation:
For my weekly presentation my group was assigned with the topic of Cloud Memory which was similar to what I had covered in ETEC 522. Given that the topics were similar the approach my group used was completely different resulting in a very different assignment with an emphasis of different aspects of "the cloud". In my section of the website I wrote about how Cloud Memory will impact us in the future. Once again I was looking at possibilities of how our future might be different as a result of technology and what that means for us as educators.
