The discussion this week: One of the primary issues associated with implementation of distance education revolves around the teacher's ability to adequately and appropriately evaluate student progress and competencies. Is this an issue? Why or why not? In my opinion this isn't an issue. Technology (and the advancement of technology) is the bridge between the information-rich and the information-poor. Technology is a needed reinforcing factor for our informational age. Every effort should be made to continue to provide highly skilled service with the ability to meet the needs of students. The service should continue to innovate and take advantage of the way student are interacting with technology as they become successful learners. Distant education service providers should continue to stay abreast of new technological advances. This is a crucial part for the continuation of bridging the gap between those who have access to the internet and those who do not. There should also be predetermined steps taken, to the delivery the core service is maintenance. This ensures the user is getting the most advanced technology and service which can be provided by an instructor.This weeks projects included creating a quiz and setting up a forum on nabble. I am excited to be introduced to these tools. The setup is easy to navigate. The content is laid out well for all to use. Please review my forum at the link below.

Video conferencing allows students visual aid in networking with educators and peers globally. This is an amazing tool but can be challenging if there are connection difficulties. it is important to have access to the internet in order to use this tool successfully. Video conferencing can be implemented during presentations and projects with other educators locally, statewide, or nationwide. Students can learn the importance of networking, with their peers on different projects by using video conferencing. Week 5 This weeks reflection starts off a bit stressful. I had a difficult time with my connection. There has been a bit of bad weather and that is never good when it comes to internet connection. The podcast was done with no problems but I was informed that vocaroo software doesn't always save podcasts. It was suggested that I save the podcast in case my recording is deleted. That was unexpected but I am thankful for my classmates advice. The movie story was fun, the only problem was finding the compatibility software for my device. I chose to use WeVideo. The setup was easy to use and edit. I did a combination in my video with effects, photos and video. I hope the different views are welcomed. I can say it was extremely fun. The interactive video was also easy to use and edit with EDpuzzle. Enjoy the podcast, movie story and interactive video.

Google Documents
Week 4
This weeks reflection starts with google documents. I must say this was the first time I used google documents. I was very pleased with the use of the technology. I have always had access to the web but I never explored google documents. There is an old saying if you don't use it you loose it. In my case I didn't know I needed google documents until I used them. Now, I am glad I have learned how to apply this technology to other ares of my life. I'm looking forward to learning and exploring more areas with google.
