In INTC2610 over the last two weeks we have accomplished many tasks asked of us in the Tech Teacher Game. This is a form of gamification. However, I was unaware that we were completing a part of ISTE. Now that I think about what we have done. I can see why communication and collaboration are of the utmost importance in the education field especially when it pertains to technology. Technology is the future, and is going to play a major role in education more so than it already is. The idea of collaboration ties in hand in hand with communication. Over the last two weeks we have all significantly increased our overall knowledge of educational technology and how to use it for future reference. But, its the fact that we did it together sharing our new found skills that really reinforces our learning. By collaborating we were pushed to exceed expectation to impress not only ourselves but our group members. As 21st century learners it was important for us to learn how to use technology for educational reasons and now that we can share what we find on the internet we can help each other even more now.
