I have begun my learning log and with the use of the supplied import file, it was pretty easy to get started. I believe this will prove to be a great resource to track and monitor my progress in the educational technology field. Currently I am a bit overwhelmed by the AECT Standards, as I have not yet committed them to memory and continually have to review to see which apply to the assignments. I am confident this process will ultimately result in the intimate knowledge of all the standards and the best application of each. One could argue that this repetitive process is a means of knowledge transfer beyond the obvious information storage and transfer mentioned in standard 4.4.
This blog is the beginning steps in the creation of my final portfolio and thus qualifies as Standard 2, Development. This is specific to standard 2.0.7, “Contribute to a professional portfolio by developing and selecting a variety of productions for inclusion in the portfolio.”
My learning log will ultimately include a variety of integrated media controlled via computer and therefore meets the requirements of standard 2.4. I also configured WordPress for the ipad and mobile devices. Providing for recreational reading materials to all users in all formats is part of standard 3.1.3. Standard 4.3 also specifies the need for attention to the hardware by which the end user will consume the information provided.
