PERSONAL INTRODUCTION
My name is Nellie Semer Yalu and my country of origin is
Papua New Guinea which is located in the Western Pacific region, just north of Australia.
I am currently a full-time (scholarship) student at the University of the West
Indies, St. Augustine campus in Trinidad and Tobago. Moreover, I will describe
my personal experiences in nursing, technology in education and knowledge of
technology.
In 2009, I completed my bachelor in Nursing at the Pacific
Adventist University and then practice as registered nurse for two years. My
personal experiences with technology in education was developed during
undergraduate study in the University especially, with the use of teaching aids
like laptop, projector, power-point slides, and speakers. In 2012, I did
bachelor of Midwifery and that’s when I developed more computer skills and
internet applications. During my career as a clinical Nurse-Midwife, I was working
in a teaching hospital and given the chance to supervise medical and nursing
students for two years. I have no
experience of teaching in nursing schools.
I would rate my knowledge of technology as 5 out of a scale
of 10 because I have been using computers and internet but need to explore more,
particularly internet applications like Moodle, blackboard collaboration and so
on. I believe the ‘application of
instructional technologies in education’ course will develop my abilities to
use and apply knowledge of various technologies for teaching/learning in preparation
for my future role as a nurse educator.👌👌😊
Nellie,

I do believe that this 'application of instructional technologies in education course" together with your experience as a RN, midwife, supervisor to not only nursing but medical students will indeed enhance your preparation as a future nurse educator. Goodluck!!!!!
