"The Educational Technology (Ed Tech) field brings together education and technology to examine the multiple ways technology can create more efficient, effective, sustainable models of education.  Technology in education includes everything from online learning to virtual reality and all future possibilities that have yet to arrive on the market."
(Leer & Ivanov, 2013).

EDU 520 - Digitally Mediated Teaching & Learning

This course is designed with a collaborative group project to create a Wiki site as part of our learning activity. Missing two team members from an intended four-person group, our two-person team doubled our working role assignments over four weeks. We selected focus topics and constructed pages of populated content, multimedia, graphics, custom-made videos, and cited references. This project required and demonstrated the value of asynchronous communication, individual research, time- and self-management, planning and execution skills, and refinement through classroom feedback. In educational settings, group projects allow students to work on a solution to attaining the goal and completing the task, which they must propose and pursue together. I plan to encourage collaboration projects in my future classrooms because I realize the value of these skills and qualities in the professional and social world and how they can positively affect student potential on a personal level.
