Please have a listen to my podcast regarding my current favorite technology. It really is hard to choose just one technology that is my favorite with so many new ones emerging every day. My laptop has to be the piece of technology equipment that I use the most. I am a moody worker. Sometimes I can work away in my office at home, but sometimes I need to work in a busy cafe, my favorite being Starbucks, or a cozy cafe, like "Meant To Be" cafe in downtown Farmington. Or, at the library, outside in the summer, in an airport, and any place that I can get a wifi connection.
For the purposes of this assignment, I think Weebly is my favorite non-hardware technology. I like creating a site that is useful for my specific purposes and the purposes of my students. I feel that my Weebly site has greatly increased in my WR 130, Introduction to the Study of Religion, online students, the deep learning, retention of information and internalization of our subject matter. It provides the "campus" effect of an online class wherein I give my take on the more formal resources assigned in the class. Providing my interpretation of the material and how that particular material fits into the larger scheme, seems to help students engage with the subject matter in a less superficial manner. I think I am in good company when I say, we instructors like that!
