Class on Wednesday 21st September, 2011.
In this session , we went to another lab to conduct our class. The computers in the lab that we were accustom going to was not working well. In the previous class I misplace my notebook that I will normally used , I thought I had left it in the other lab. In this session we were suppose to develop a lesson plan which would demonstrate attention to four instructional design theories. We were also to create a blog to reflex on each class that we attend. It was difficult locating my blog. The members of my group told me once you have a blog,it will be difficult to create another.

Instructional Design
Class on Wednesday 14th September, 2011.
We log unto blackboard to get our assignment for the class session. The lecturer Ms Cielto went through the assignment with the class. We were to form ourselves into groups to do the assignment.We research the theories on the computer. Some of the theories I have encounter for the first time. We were able to link theories with activities.The three members of each group will present their findings. I was one of the members of the group who presented. I was a bit frighten having to talk in front of so many people. I enjoyed the exercise, listening to each group gave their views on the Theories we had to research. One of the members of my group commented that he was confused about the whole exercise.

Instructional Design
Class on Wednesday 7th September,2011.
I have always heard students at UTT talking about the subject Instructional Design.They will say it is a difficult subject to study and pass. My first encounter with the course, meeting my lecturer Ms Ronda Harvey Cielto for the first time, she seems like a nice person, very hard working and dedicated to her job.We were suppose to use the blackboard to do course. Ms Cielto was to get us signed in to blackboard. It was a difficult process because some of the computers were not working. We eventually got log in and their course was posted on blackboard with the lecturer telling us all about the course. She said it was a difficult course and we must not miss any of the classes. In that class she told us to form ourselves into group.

Welcome to all my visitors
I am pleased to welcome you to my blog space. I am taking a course in Instructional Technology at the University of Trinidad and Tobago and you see I am now blogging on the web.
On this site I want to discuss how education is affected by how technology is changing the physical and man-made environment. I am a teacher at a primary school and have had many years to observe changes but never the opportunity to write about my observations.
So expect to hear from me again.
Today I want to talk about the laptops that were distributed to the children in First Form Secondary Schools. I cannot complain myself as I expect one of my children to be the proud owner of one of these devices soon. But even in my school, which is recent, compared to the dilapidated Mt. Pleasant School in Claxton Bay, we have concerns about the use of computer technology. The schools are simply not designed to have all of the children use computers at a time. Many changes have to be made to bring all of these older buildings in keeping with the new policy to use computer technology more frequently in schools.
