STATIC OR DYNAMIC=Concept Map

To differentiate between static and dynamic lies within the words. When I think of static I think of the grey fuzz on the television which shows no picture and is "stuck"===STATIC. The word DYNAMIC leads me to imagine dynamite which is explosive and immediate. I have completed a concept map on the collaboration, communication, and content of static and dynamic technologies as it relates to educational technology. The most dynamic of the technologies I discovered was "THE CLOUD", I had heard about it and was interested in researching how it would impact educational technology


Share where you believe you are on the “static-dynamic continuum.”
As I incorporate technology daily in my classroom, I am moving toward the dynamic continuum with distance education as my foundation.  I have been semi static-with having my students email me their assignments and reports as I grade/edit them and return via email.  We are also have a class website which is static; however, I plan to move toward blogging and social networking with my students next year.  There is much work to be done on my part to move toward exclusive dynamics but there is a need for more resources as it relates to my student body.
