Photo 1: I chose this photo because I think it sums up a lot of the issues surrounding online classes and technology in the classroom. I think this is a funny representation of the struggle to link technology without losing books, classroom atmospheres, and other classic parts of school today.
Photo 2: I think this photo shows a positive view of technology in the classroom, all of these young students are clearly using a device similar to the iclickers we use here at the University of Oregon. These students all look very involved in the lesson and all look like they’re being engaged by the technology, and the technology is helping the lesson, not hurting it.
Photo 3: This image portrays those commercials I think we all have seen a few times, the ones for online college and high school degrees, with the cute girls in PJ’s earning their degrees in ‘their own time’ and singing while they do it. These commercials idealize getting a degree online, and make it seem that as soon as you take a couple easy online classes, you will fall into a perfect, well paying job. And, as we all know, this simply is not the case for everyone.
Photo 4: I chose this picture because it relates to technology in the classroom and how sustainable we can make it for ourselves and for our students. I think this picture is interesting because while all the students have their own, large, flat screen computer, and the teacher is still writing on a chalkboard in front of the classroom.
Photo 5: I liked this image because it brings up the distinction between using E-Learning, and technology in the classroom to assist and help with lesson plans and teaching students, and having our students become dependent on technology.
