Hello! What's Your Ed Tech Rationale?

• 00:00 - 00:01

  Hi, everyone.

• 00:01 - 00:04

  I'm Dr Solano, and I'm excited to present him my

• 00:04 - 00:05

  very first Prezi video.

• 00:06 - 00:08

  As I explain the assignment, I'm going to teach you

• 00:08 - 00:11

  about some tips and tricks they I learned while making

• 00:11 - 00:11

  this video.

• 00:12 - 00:14

  So hopefully yours will turn out better than mine.

• 00:15 - 00:18

  As you can see, you can combine the graphics and

• 00:18 - 00:19

  text or just have graphics.

• 00:20 - 00:22

  This graphic came from Unspool ash, which is a tool

• 00:22 - 00:25

  that has seemed with Prezi video very similar to picks

• 00:25 - 00:25

  a base.

• 00:26 - 00:28

  If you've had my classes before, you know, I talk

• 00:28 - 00:31

  a lot about eat, finding photos and graphics and videos

• 00:31 - 00:31

  on picks.

• 00:31 - 00:35

  Obey is another creative copyright license as well as unspool

• 00:36 - 00:39

  ash. So it makes finding and searching for graphics a

• 00:39 - 00:41

  lot similar and a great time saver.

• 00:43 - 00:45

  So the next graphics that I used, I created first

• 00:46 - 00:46

  and Google size.

• 00:46 - 00:49

  If you didn't know, you can create your size and

• 00:49 - 00:52

  then select a slide and download it as a PNG

• 00:52 - 00:56

  image. And so I first made Maya graphics, and then

• 00:56 - 00:57

  I downloaded them to upload here to Prezi.

• 00:58 - 01:00

  Your videos will be about this topic.

• 01:00 - 01:03

  What is your educational technology rash now?

• 01:06 - 01:06

  This next side.

• 01:06 - 01:08

  As you can tell, I made a bullet list and

• 01:09 - 01:11

  the bulleted items you can really see.

• 01:11 - 01:14

  So if you're going to create graphics season, Google Sides

• 01:15 - 01:17

  or Power Point, I would suggest that your font size

• 01:17 - 01:21

  is at least 35 points or larger, so it could

• 01:21 - 01:22

  be well read and easy.

• 01:22 - 01:25

  Understood. When you are preparing your video, make sure you

• 01:25 - 01:28

  re Chapter three first, to give you some ideas and

• 01:28 - 01:32

  some background about topics and things that you need to

• 01:32 - 01:36

  consider about why technology is important and how we're using

• 01:37 - 01:38

  it to solve educational problems of today.

• 01:39 - 01:43

  Um, every time every new school year, evidence semester, there

• 01:43 - 01:45

  are new tools, there seems softer and there's no program.

• 01:46 - 01:48

  So it's very overwhelming and is very time consuming For

• 01:49 - 01:52

  educators to try to weed out the bad stuff and

• 01:52 - 01:55

  to find the good stuff and invest your time in

• 01:55 - 01:56

  the good products.

• 01:57 - 02:01

  I understand in your video you're going to be answering

• 02:02 - 02:04

  three questions so you should probably make a total of

• 02:05 - 02:06

  4 to 5.

• 02:06 - 02:08

  Slice your Prezi video.

• 02:08 - 02:09

  You'll need to have.

• 02:09 - 02:11

  It needs to be a two minutes.

• 02:11 - 02:13

  So figure that out.

• 02:13 - 02:16

  However, many graphics and size that you want include, These

• 02:17 - 02:18

  were gonna meet the three questions that I will be

• 02:18 - 02:20

  focusing on in the next transition.

• 02:22 - 02:24

  So how does technology motivate engage students?

• 02:24 - 02:27

  There's lots of ways that that it does this.

• 02:28 - 02:30

  You put a student down in front of an iPad

• 02:31 - 02:33

  all of a sudden there super excited to explore the

• 02:34 - 02:38

  abs. Maybe they're using epic books or something specific or

• 02:38 - 02:39

  they're using it for a V R.

• 02:40 - 02:41

  Experience it really.

• 02:42 - 02:44

  It just engages a student because it cause learning right

• 02:44 - 02:47

  in their hands, and it makes them a part of

• 02:47 - 02:49

  it. Instead of just listening and being passive learners, it

• 02:50 - 02:50

  makes them active learners.

• 02:51 - 02:53

  So, um, it's a win win.

• 02:53 - 02:56

  As far as I can say, I can tell the

• 02:56 - 02:57

  next topic.

• 02:57 - 03:00

  How does technology support students learning needs?

• 03:00 - 03:03

  So those of you who have been teaching for a

• 03:03 - 03:06

  few years, I'm sure you're very well aware of lots

• 03:06 - 03:11

  of the technologies, assistive technologies, programs and accommodations that that

• 03:12 - 03:14

  technology provides for special Ed and Ansel students.

• 03:15 - 03:19

  I'm struggling readers and is also great for your gifted

• 03:20 - 03:21

  and talented and just your regular students.

• 03:22 - 03:26

  Because it provides a learning assessment, they can do a

• 03:26 - 03:26

  Simon's on there.

• 03:28 - 03:32

  Digital files can't be lost and misplaced, and it involves

• 03:32 - 03:34

  them and teaches them 21st century skills.

• 03:35 - 03:35

  It's pretty great.

• 03:37 - 03:39

  Finally, how does technology prepare students for the future?

• 03:40 - 03:45

  So you've heard all before that the the jobs that

• 03:45 - 03:48

  they're your students will be doing are not even created

• 03:48 - 03:52

  yet. Technology is advancing so rapidly that it's just amazing.

• 03:53 - 03:56

  All of the new tools and products that are coming

• 03:57 - 03:57

  out all of the time.

• 03:58 - 03:59

  Some of them stick, and some of them does.

• 04:00 - 04:00

  What did you guys remember?

• 04:01 - 04:02

  I'm Google Glass.

• 04:04 - 04:07

  They never take, Uh, but we have things like via

• 04:07 - 04:09

  headsets. So virtual reality and simulations.

• 04:10 - 04:12

  Some people think it's a gimmick.

• 04:12 - 04:16

  Um, it isn't if you notice the pilots here are

• 04:16 - 04:18

  training using virtual reality headsets.

• 04:20 - 04:21

  It's in medical jobs.

• 04:22 - 04:25

  It's in science is an really in so many different

• 04:26 - 04:29

  ways that they're using simulation software to teach and to

• 04:29 - 04:31

  train employees three d printers.

• 04:32 - 04:36

  Yes, learning to code for three D printers is amazing.

• 04:37 - 04:39

  Learning those problem solving skills and being able to take

• 04:39 - 04:43

  students to a design process to learn how to take

• 04:43 - 04:46

  an idea that consult a problem and actually make a

• 04:46 - 04:47

  product out of it.

• 04:47 - 04:48

  And then, of course, robotics.

• 04:49 - 04:52

  They're popping up everywhere in yeah.

• 04:53 - 04:58

  Cars, self driving cars and factories and our cell phones.

• 04:59 - 05:02

  I mean, as faras assistive a I something like Google

• 05:03 - 05:03

  home or Alexa.

• 05:04 - 05:06

  So lots of great possibilities.

• 05:07 - 05:10

  Lots of careers that your students have the possibility of

• 05:10 - 05:11

  taking part in.

• 05:11 - 05:16

  Um, I left technology as you know, and hopefully you

• 05:16 - 05:20

  have fun making a good sorry press you video.

• 05:20 - 05:23

  I can't wait to see how they turn out.

• 05:24 - 05:24

  So enjoy.

• 05:25 - 05:26

  Have fun and again text me if you have any

• 05:26 - 05:31

  questions. I am happy to help you just brainstorm ideas

• 05:31 - 05:34

  and, uh, hopefully make it a good experience for you.

• 05:35 - 05:36

  Take care for my
