This Saturday I had my first class of the semester for Designing Constructivist Learning. I was a bit hesitant taking another Saturday class, but was pleasantly surprised. If learners in my workplace were to be as excited and engaged as I was this weekend, then I want to add Constructivist principles to my courses as well. Perhaps the one thing that excites me most about the class is that it incorporates technology into the projects and coursework. I wouldn’t consider myself to be a tech geek but I do enjoy learning new technologies. I use MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and love my iPhone, Macbook, and two iPods. As Instructional Designers, it’s crucial that we stay current because technology is the future of our field. Companies continue to migrate toward e-learning and now wikis, blogs, podcasts, etc. I’m thankful that this class will afford me the opportunity to learn some of these technologies. Here’s to an engaging semester!
