Week 5 APP/Tech Tool Review

 EDUC 5313 APP/Tech Tool Review Video Screencast Link : https://osuokc.instructuremedia.com/embed/9901d781-3bf7-4644-b2c5-92abc13589d9 Part 1 – APP/Tech Tool Review : Shaderware VR interactive software for radiography simulation is one of the technology tools included in my lesson plan and the one I selected to review for this week’s assignment. The university acquired the software during the Covid-19 pandemic to allow students to virtually simulate equipment manipulation, radiographic positioning, and technical factor adjustments. While this is a highly specialized tech tool, it plays a crucial role in our students’ learning experience, as they use it weekly in the lab. Information about the software is available at https://shaderware.com/ ; however, a license must be purchased in order to use the software.

EDUC 5813 - Final Reflection

As I reflect on the portfolio I created throughout this course, I recognize how these experiences have not only contributed to the person and educator I am today but have also opened my eyes to topics that were at times uncomfortable or unfamiliar. My early memories of growing up in a close-knit, working-class family helped lay the foundation for a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility. The unexpected shift from X-ray technologist to educator was never part of my plan, in fact it was quite a challenge, but I truly believe it was all part of God’s plan, not mine. The Dialects assignment gave me the opportunity to reflect on some of the experiences that marginalized individuals face in our diverse society. Not only did I have an engaging conversation with a gay colleague about her experiences growing up, I also watched several videos: 13 th , Brown Eyes / Blue Eyes , A Girl Like Me , and Would You Stop Muslim Discrimination . As a Caucasian, heterosexual female this opened my...
