EDUC561

    This course teaches us how to integrate technology in education using many applications and different ways. It is  very helpful and enjoyable, it helped me a lot in my teaching process. I learned about many apps and how to use them. Also I learned how to make quizzes for my students, and how to make some activities that can attract the students and get their attention. This class is my favorite so far especially because it's applicable and can be learned easily. Moreover, the most important thing about the class is the doctor herself because she gives the information in a simple way and never complains to help anyone. Also the assignments helped me to make sure I understood everything. I have gained a good knowledge of many apps and I was learnt how to apply them on my job. And the best part is that I feel I can explain this material to others. 

Technology And Education

    Teaching is a very enjoyable job but at the same time it's hard sometimes. In order for your students to understand the information and catch it quickly, you should use different ways. One of these ways is integrating technology in education. I do believe that technology helps a lot especially in education because you can use it to shoe your students a video that interprets the lesson, also you can use it to make a presentation and the students will learn faster because of pictures. But at the same time, technology should not be integrated completely because then this will make the students get distracted and don't focus on the course. So technology should be integrated but under control. 

Online Assessments

    Online assessment is the most effective way in learning, because of the use of modern technology to attract the interest of students and they'll not get bored. This assessment will focus on the student himself. The objectives of this assessment are obvious that students will be encouraged and to test the knowledge and ability of the students, also to make tests and quizzes. The most important assessment tools that can be used in education are:

1. Google Form: It is used as an online form to make surveys, quizzes and ask different questions. Also to collect information about students, to make surveys and know the percentages of students in different areas and categories and to have instant results and save time. The result are in form of graph and percentage so you don’t have to read each answer. But it's main purpose is to make tests and quizzes.

1. Google Slides: It can be used to make professional presentation and enhance group work in the class. Also it can be used to slide show the information and save time for the teacher. 

1. Word wall: It can be used to make a brain storm about a subject and know what are the keywords that students have in mined. Also it can be used to make activities and beneficial games.
