Module 5: Concept Map: Static vs Dynamic Technologies

Education is growing more towards technology, and as educators we must be willing to change and grow with it,  Technology can be either static and dynamic.  Static technologies are podcasts, web pages, and text.  They are one sided communication that allow learners to capture information (moller, 2008).  They do little to build one's knowledge.  The dynamic end of the spectrum includes tools that involve learners on a deeper cognitive level (Moller, 2008).  Such tools as virtual simulations and gaming are called a mind tool.  The learner is engaged and gains a deeper understanding.
