I believe I am just above the halfway point on the “static-dynamic continuum.” I like to try new things with students and get their reactions and I like to work with teachers to push them out of their comfort zone. To be able to push others I feel I need to push myself also. I am not as far on the continuum as I would like to be but I keep working toward the goal. Moller (2008) talks about how ”a deeper understanding of the content is achieved” (p1) when dynamic technologies are used. One of my goals for students is increasing their understanding of the course content. If using dynamic tools will help them toward that goal then as an educator I need to vett the tool and experiment for its best usage.
