Static means not changing and indicates where technology comes from. Dynamic basically means changing.In information systems we talk about Dynamic services or content as coming from databases or real-time feeds of data. This means that as systems change, the information shared between the users of the data changes as well.
There is a wide range of learning technologies within the areas of communication, collaboration, and content in education; the spectrum includes dynamic, middle, and static technologies. Static technology examples for the area of communication include video streaming, email, phone calls, and instant messaging. Collaboration in static learning technologies are not interactive and include chat rooms, discussion forum, message boards, and bulletin boards. Content is spread througout static learning technologies such as web pages, eBooks, and podcasts, and blogs. Dynamic technology examples for the area of content generation include Study Island, ipad apps and games, simulations, and twitter. Collaboration in dynamic learning techologies are very interactive and they include video conferening, discussion boards, document sharing, and elluminate sessions. Communication is dynamic learning includes programs like wiki, text messages, phone calls, and skype.
With some of the listed programs and innovations, I am very comfortable using and use daily such as discussion forum, message boards, blog, wiki, text messages, phone calles, and Study Island. Some are dynamic, but most are static. As an educator and a student, I need to step out of the box and learn to use more of the dynamic forms of technology to promote collaboration, content, and communication.
