As a public health major, within this class, I wish to learn all of the facets that educational technology has to offer for the scope of the healthcare field. Educational technology includes many different forms of helpful tools such as AI, Canva, and more. Therefore as these tools are integrated into healthcare, I believe that it is essential to learn how to properly manage and use technology to its greatest extent. Through this class, I hope to further learn and understand how educational technology allows for students to learn about healthcare, which would allow for the scope of public health to broaden as people become more informed about healthcare.
As a student, I have had many prior experiences in using technology within an educational setting. As technology grows, the use of computers and other tech within the classroom has grown with it. Therefore, I have used tools such as Canva, Google Drive, AI, and other tools commonly used within the classroom. Using these tools have benefitted my work as it has helped me create more cohesive and well thought out assignments, helping me think outside of the box and improve my skills.
My existing personal learning networks consist mainly of different resources such as social media, Canvas, and Google. These tools help me with school, as the different subjects I learn require research. For example, I use Google and other search engines for help as it leads me to information created by peers or by mentors/advisers. On the other hand, I also use other resources that are offline in order to help me with studying such as tutoring and advising by other people. In addition, these technological tools also help me with my hobbies, as I enjoy hiking and pickleball. However, both of these hobbies require other people, so I use social media in order to view who else would like to go hiking or play pickleball with me. Overall, both my online and offline PLN's are beneficial to me towards my education but also my other interests and hobbies.
I'm curious to see how you manage to adapt these education-based websites to fit into healthcare
ReplyDeleteDo you find parts of your PLN overlapping such as social media to be distracting when attempting to utilize said PLNs?
ReplyDeleteI think the future usefulness of technology like AI will be interestingly adapted to fit the world of healthcare! I'm interested in seeing what the health profession will do with the endless possibilities for new information and future medical testing and research.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about the fact that these tools might be utilized in fields like healthcare; that's pretty cool. I can definitely see now how it might help you down the road to have technological skills not always revolving around medical machines.
