Technology

Here I want to go over technology I have learned about throughout this course. Being in an online course as opened my eyes to so many different resources that can help me in online courses in the future. Major takeaways I gained from this are 1. there are always resources able to help you 2. take advantage of the discussion boards 3. use other students in your class for help 4. practice with the technology! 5. be familiar with the resources. Here are some new technologies I have been introduced to while being in this class:

  1. Doodle- Doodle is a web-based meeting scheduling tool that is helpful when trying to figure out a best time to meet whether it is for scheduling our small group meetings or big synchronized sessions.
  2. CarmenConnect- This is a CarmenConnect room that is able to hold group meetings.
  3. BuckeyeBox- this is similar to Google Drive in that it is a cloud based service that provides a way to store/ share files.
  4. U.OSU- This is a web space where I am able to share my work, communicate within groups, represent organizations, and host course assignments.
  5. ODEE Resource Center- This resource center provides help articles for major online course technology.
  6. Writing Center Online Service- This resource offers free help with writing both in person and online sessions.
