This week we will be transitioning from the importance of Building Relationships and community in online learning environments into the History of Educational Technology (EdTech) and online learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weekly reading includes a summary of the history of EdTech by Dr. Martin Weller. Dr. Weller will meet with us to discuss his reading on October 6, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weller (2018) emphasizes the gap in recording and reflecting about the history of educational technology. He questions and considers why there is a gap and how there is a clear pattern of edtech researchers and practitioners citing “new” innovations in edtech, that have so often been around for awhile but in different contexts or with different names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weller selects a different educational technology, theory, or concept for each of the years from 1998 through 2018 . These choices are not based on when the topic was “invented”, but rather when it was significant. This is an important distinction because it may be one fo the reasons why so many “edtech” discoveries are considered new, when they are actually not new at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog Post and Social Pod Activity:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The topics in the article are listed below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. For your blog post this week, go through each topic, take notes and add in how the topics connect to “humanizing online learning” and add in any additional notes, links and examples from your supplementary readings. <\/li>
  2. Add your summary of your notes\/chart to your blog. Consider making a video, infographic or other digital artifact to summarize these key topics and their influence on educational technology. <\/li>
  3. After you have competed your summary, write 2 questions that you would ask Dr. Weller in preparation for his webinar. <\/li>
  4. Also consider which of the topics interest you the most and if you would consider any of them for your final project. <\/li>
  5. Share your blog post with your summary with your social pod, then reply to your peer’s blog posts. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
