Technology and Me

A personal timeline of educational technology

Overview

My name is Krystle Dunn.

I started school in 1988 in Lahaina.

… is the use of various technologies to enhance learning experiences. It is progressive, intuitive, interactive, and it promotes creativity.

Technology I Want to Use in My Classroom

I want my students to engage in learning and discussions through a social networking website, such as Ning, as part of their math classroom experience.

The Classroom of the Future

I want to see self-directed learning to the extreme! Who needs teachers anyway?

A Challenge for TeachingAccess to the

knowledge of technology and to physical technological products is sometimes difficult to come by for teachers. Students need all their teachers to effectively implement educational technology.

Words of Wisdom

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
