My Learning Journey

UNIT 1: UNPACKING BELIEFS

1. How do you currently incorporate technology into your teaching methods?

In my experience as a teacher, I prefer incorporating technology into my lessons. My students are young—currently in Year 2—so gaining and maintaining their attention can be quite challenging. Since they are growing up surrounded by technology, using it in class helps keep them engaged. They usually watch videos to get the idea or explore the surface of the topic. 

2. Do different technology integration levels impact student learning experiences? If so, can you explain? 

EdTech isn't one-size-fits-all—its success depends on clear learning goals, student needs, and available resources. As a dedicated educator, I focus on balancing pedagogy with technology so that digital tools enhance learning rather than detract from it. Thoughtfully aligned tech ultimately drives engagement, deepens comprehension, and boosts student achievement. 

UNIT 3: REVISITING FLIPPED CLASSROOM

1. Define flipped classroom in your own words.

In my view, a flipped classroom requires students to explore a topic independently before sharing their findings in class. The teacher then guides the discussion, helping to clarify concepts and fill in any missing details. 

2. How do you think flipped classroom can be applied in your own words?

In my own words, applying a flipped classroom simply means swapping the location of instruction and practice.

Instead of introducing new material at school through a lecture and sending practice work home, you reverse the environment.
