ASSIGNMENT 0.2: TALK ABOUT EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM

Hello I'm Bálint Kiss 18 years old student from Hungary. Ed tech completely changed my life. I'm interested in EECS learning, developing and instruction of electronic devices. I wanted to learn how these devices are working: like Arduinos, TI Launchpads. I've got a lot of free online resources but after some years of doing experiments I want to learn deeply the ARM microcontrollers.

Here at edX I found the course named Shape the World with professor Valvano and professor Yerraballi. That was exciting and I've got my certificate. I've learned that the most important thing is: by using educational technology I know what I want to learn. By Using educational technology the learning process can be very easy and exciting. With the knowledge from edx i've designed a new tool for learning electronics by succesfull experiments. This is my tool called apaBoard. It uses a modular system. You can connect modules to modules and build devices without deep previous knowledge. Everybody can build, design and construct what he or she wants, and learn electronics by building devices. My project became quite successfull. It won a lot of prizes, I've presented my device at national and international competitions and conferences like EUCYS in Poland and Milset 2015 in Brusseles. My mentor Kertesz Krisztian who works at Institute of Technical Physics and Materials Science of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences said that if I've taught myself let's try whether this method would work for other students. So I put all my exciting experiments into this box. It is the deluxeBox. I went to schools and I've presented to more than 1000 students in classrooms and conferences. Students who have tried some of my experiments, said they would like to use my devices and methods Now I'm interested in learning ed methods and technologies to use Massive Open Online Course for those students who are interested in learning with my electronic devices and my tools. I've learned to use a lot of software for building multimedia content, step-by-step wikis, videos, graphs, animations. I am building my own website, wiki site with multimedia content and I want to learn & use ed. tech. very efficiently.
