Week 11

This week's lesson on simulation, simulation-game, and game really threw me for a loop. I misread the question and had to resubmit several post to get things clarified, but I managed to get things corrected so that they were scholarly presentations. But I really believe that this emerging technology would benefit all academic disciplines, especially those in the helping profession. I believe that giving learners the opportunity to be placed in scenarios of what would you do or simulating real-life situations is helpful in addressing how they would actually handle the real event.

The next challenge that I had this week was posting, uploading, and producing my video/webcam to the doc sharing. Thanks to Dr. Roger Powley I learned about MS Producer and was able to get my MS preventing to play successfully with this software. Thus, I will be sending each of you a copy through the blogging shared documents and I will also upload it to the docsharing section, if it is not too large. This is a class that I have been teaching through our Christian university about how to teach Christian Education classes through traditional and online settings.

I enjoyed the topic this week immensely. I am always interested in ways to make learning fun for the learners.

Phyllis,

I don't know if it was the way the syllabus was worded or how the instructional designers set up the page, but I certainly did post to the wrong section. I guess great minds think alike (smile).

Yolanda,

I certainly agree because at our church preschool the students are so excited about using the computers twice a week to actively engage the skills that they learned all week.
