The most valuable information for me from this module:
I enjoyed reading Dr. Bonk’s writings and watching the video. I found myself agreeing with many of his points. I particularly like the concept of matching activities to assessment. There are many tools to use to present learning, such as video streamed conference presentations, podcast shows, and synchronous conferencing. The assessment for these tools can be done by, reflection papers (one of my favorites), or online discussions, or quizzes to name a few. I also gained insight into teacher led vs the Learner- Centered Paradigm and I was most inspired by the latter and it would be my choice for teaching a class. I would like the students to be actively involved with the teacher serving as facilitator while the students are creating and collaborating. The students and the teacher both learn and the assessment is used to modify the lesson as needed in order to facilitate a better learning tool.
•How I will implement this information in my work:I used Inspiration For my concept map and I found it easy to use, however, I was nervous when I could not find a “save” button. I found out by trial and error that the program has an automatic save. I was not able to log back in with my username and password, but luckily I downloaded the map and you can view it

•Areas where I feel I need more information or practice:
I would say I could always use more computer information. One of my computers would not let me get into the blog. I will have to research more on fixing computers. I would also like to explore more on the tools I have mentioned above. I will have to look into more conference presentations and podcast shows, or create my own. I also need more information about creating Blogs, but as I do I learn. I wish I had a mentor to teach me the things I don't know.
