Resource page

May 23, 2012

I have created a new resouce page on my website after veiwing Jenni's video on the compainon website which gave us great examples on how to polish our website. I have encluded a list of useful resouces that I have used or discovered during the creation of my website. I have also created a list of authentic resources and pdf files for information on authntic learning that I read or used over the course of this unit. Lastly I have added some you tube clips which I found helpful with my website. I undervalued you tube before commencing this unit and it was only once we started this course and speaking with colleges that I discovered you can learn just about anything on you tube. It was realyt helpful when I came up against technology challenges like trying to add a youtube clip to a powerpoint presentation or how to download toolbars and add pictures.

I can't believe this is the last week of semester 1 before study break and then its exams. I have not set an exam for 20 years so I am a little apprehensive but with anything new I have learnt to embrace and learn from each experience. I am going to print of example examsfrom the LSM from each of my units and use that as a guide to study. Along with all my podcast lectures which I will listen to again and revisit my notes and textbooks.

Today in tutorials the class will be presenting all the Wiki creations but unfortunately I have a sick daughter so I have emailed my team and Jenni. I am disappointed I will not get to view them but I will go into the wikispace and have a look that wa.y Now I am just going to check over my website and then submit!

Reflection

May 21, 2012

I have just been polishing up my website for submitting and realised that at the begining of this unit technology based activities use to take me a lot of time and guessing but now I am not only able to do many new things but I am excited to learn new technologies and embrace them. I feel really pleased and proud of mysefl that I have come so far!

Finishing assignment 3a

May 17, 2012

16 May 2012

Today our group meet in the library to finalise the presentation of our Wikispace resource. We needed to reference, add pictures and create a power point narration. Nikki and I used creative commons Flickr for the pictures which I had not use before so it was another resource I have learnt and a great tool for future use. We had taken a lot of photos ourselves to add to our wiki which shows the process we have taken to create and present. While Nikki and I were polishing and re...

Centre learning around the learner!

May 17, 2012

6 May 2012

“Goodbye teacher “was a lecture presented to us by Jan Herrington which was extremely helpful in assisting us with the task of establishing an authentic learning environment.

When designing an authentic learning environment we have to consider what the student does, how are they using the technology, how long does it take, collaboration, final product and is there a show case. We have tried to showcase all these elements in the wikispace resource. With the children using mul...

Wikispace and Assignment 3a

May 17, 2012

2 May 2012

Research TechnologiesAssignment 3a has certainly been a challenge, firstly trying to grasp the concept of what is expected in this task, furthermore scheduling group times, discussions, ideas and also finalisation. I was fortunate to be grouped with Nikki, Monique, Chelsea and Paul to work on our group assignment. We were required to create a authentic learning resouce to share with other teachers. So our group first though we would look at the skeletal system but after some...

At university today we had Rob Phillips present Learning with multimedia, which was a very interactive lecture and highlighted the advances in teaching with technology as a partner in the learning process, students learning with technology to support their learning. The learning federation is an example of technology supporting learning addressing the different learning styles and strategies. Multimedia facilitates real life exploration and exposure, allowing for creativity ...

Wikispaces

April 30, 2012

Assignment 3 requires us to work in teams and I have been fortunate enough to be grouped with Nikki, Chelsea, Paul and Monique. We will be working on creating a useful resouce for teachers to use in the teaching of an authentic task. We first discusses the skeletal system as our topic task but after some researcher discovered there was not enough for use to incorporate as many of the authentic elements which we received for Jan in our lecture in week 4 titled Learning with technology.

Ready to submit Task 2

April 25, 2012

Well I have had at look at the rubric, read over the unit guide and looked on the discussion forum and checked my links so I think I might be ready to submit. I found the search strategies such as Murdoch Find it, Google Scholar and ERIC, where I gained a large amount of learning as I had not used most of the search engines before. I did find endnotes frustrating to start with but now see it a invaluable resource. I have also learned to view from different disciplines.

Endnotes!

April 24, 2012

After spending quite a bit of time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong on endnotes when working on my researcher task 2, I decided a trip to the library was in order. With the children in tow I headed on down to Murdoch Rockingham library and the wonderful Pim guided me through endnotes. It was such a simple thing I was doing I was bring up the correct screen but just not processing any futher as I thought I was wrong but it was not the case, yet it had thrown me completely. It jus...
