I
am a Registered Nurse who is presently working in a Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU) and also pursuing a MSc in Nursing Education. Being in the
education field has afforded me opportunities to have exposure to how technology
is being used in education. In our Trinidad classrooms especially in the field
of nursing education we have moved from the traditional chalk and board
classroom to using overhead slide projectors, to multimedia projectors, to accessing
course materials online and finally to having classes online.
Online
classroom is the delivery mode via which the MSc in Nursing Education is being
delivered. It has given me an opportunity to interact with lecturers and fellow
students without physically being in the same place, thereby creating new experiences
with technology. This blog is an example of my new interaction. Previously I only
heard about blogs but now I have actually created one, which I will share with
others.
On
a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I believe
that in terms of knowledge and experience with technology, my score is 5. I intend
to use this blog and NURS 6005 to learn more about technology and education.
Towards Progression!!!!!π
Hello Rajdaye. I like the fact that the we are currently being exposed to different kinds of technologies that will be helpful to us in our future as nurse educators. I also believe that my knowledge is not much when it comes to teaching with technologies but as you have stated above, this course of ours, NURS 6005 has a lot to offer and I am also interested as you are in this course, of which, creating a blog is one. All the best for your future career in nursing education.
