A discussion post about the types of careers held and tasks performed by educational technologists.

The impact of IoT on the education space has yet to be fully realized but one thing is certain. Many students are already living in a connected world outside of the classroom and campuses can use that to their advantage to positively impact the future of education and keep pace with fast-moving technology.

This blog post is about forging something new. We should invest in learning new skills, sharpening old ones and forge new habits to learn and grow. When this storm has passed, you will have the opportunity to build something new again and we will need all the help we can get. Personally, I have decided to work on my programming skills by learning more about JavaScript. I am reading two books which are really good at teaching fundamentals and providing hands-on learning activities which I prefer. The two books are Eloquent JavaScript by M. Haverbeke and Head First JavaScript Programming by E. Freeman and E. Robson. The book covers and links are listed on my Resources page. I have also decided to learn more about Multimedia Learning Theory and Cognitive strategies using two books by Ruth Clark and Richard Mayer to enhance my learning through E-Learning and Multimedia. I think my next post will be about that so watch this space. Lastly, I am spending some quality time with my family learning new skills such as 3D Printing and Designing Cookie Cutters for my wife's allergy-friendly bakery Dylicious Cakes business. I'm also learning about Python programming and Linux OS using a Raspberry Pi for a new Mars Perseverance rover we are building together. The key is to stay busy and try to do one thing positive and constructive each day. Stay safe and Be Steadfast!
