Technology Development in Caribbean Schools: Episode - # 1

http://edtech2.boisestate.edu/kirklandLawrence/audio/podcast.mp3
This podcast series will be looking at technology development in Caribbean schools at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels.
The podcast series will highlight the different programs at the different levels and how technology is integrated in the schools' curricula on all the islands in the Caribbean. I will also highlight the culture and other unique things about each island. Most, if not all the Caribbean islands, depend on tourism for their economical development, hence I will use this opportunity through this medium to sell our beautiful region to the world.
To cover the entire region will be made possible through network links, collaborative efforts of my colleagues who come from the various islands and other correspondence channels such as social network blogs. I hope you have found this inaugural episode of this series to be informative and entertaining.
Until the next episode, have yourselves  a great time.

Why EDTECH 513

I am doing EDTECH 513- Multimedia as an elective to satisfy the requirement of the M.E.T. degree program offered by BSU.
I intend to learn everything this course has to offer; example, how to plan and execute effective Multimedia lessons, create effective coursewares, conducting podcasts, etc.
I will try to in-cooperate all of these new ideas and techniques in my classroom to actively engage learners in the lessons presented to stimulate their interest in order to improve their learning performance. I will also share some of these ideas with my peers to help enhance their professional development.
At the same time, I hope that after completing this class I will be closer at the delivering (facilitating) side of the lessons rather than at the receiving side, since my ambition is to become an online instructor.
