Teresa's Tidbits

  Identify three technology tools covered in this module. There were three technologies discussed: the use of blogs, desktop publishing, and mobile devices. Identify one way to implement EACH technology tool in your desired career area/classroom. It would be difficult to implement blogging in my career area because blogging is mostly about your personal views/opinions. As for desktop publishing, we certainly use those capabilities in our jobs, and we use cloud-based systems to store/share documents. Also, we use different websites and programs to perform our jobs more effectively. Mobile devices have become an an integral part of our lives. Among other things, we use our devices to communicate, work, and send emails. One of the challenges of blogging is creating content that engages the reader; one of the challenges of desktop publishing would be the constant changing needs of the user; one of the challenges for mobile devices would be the user's level of technology knowledge.

I am supposed to identify one way to implement a virtual field trip in my area of work. Well I am an Office Coordinator/Executive Assistant and I really can't see how I can plan a virtual field trip or even if it would be beneficial. Covid has implemented the use of Zoom/Teams and/or Webex for meetings and job interviews. When implementing a virtual field trip, the attendees' senses of sight and hearing can only be engaged. Students will be able to learn from these field trips but will not be able to smell or touch anything.

Identify one way that you can implement online assessment tools in your desired career area/classroom.

Can this particular assessment took be beneficial in your current job role?
