So after all of the time I spent learning about incorporating technology into learning, I have realized that even though I was raised in a highly technological age, I am much better not using technology to learn. I took my first online course this term and I am finding it very difficult to navigate. I have found that the conversation in classrooms gives instant feedback and allows for a lot more open discussion. Online learning involves a much more strict and less flexible conversation structure because it seems to require a large amount of information all at once and then a long time waiting for any response. It also seems hard to clarify thoughts because I can't see faces and see expressions or hear intonation to have a better idea of what people really mean.
I think I am too old school to learn in this new school. I can incorporate technology into the classroom, but I think face to face learning is more impacting, at least for me.
