networking
Networking at home would have been different if we had to do this at home, as there would of course be technical difficulties and with that we would use msn, mobile phones and any other way to communicate to each other, it would inevitably be more difficult....the networking through use of external technology can be used to enhance the social aspect of learning which suggests that people learn more when learning together. we learn through teaching others and by networking with others via blogging, we are learning and teaching others, sharing thoughts and working in a group. we use peer tutoring (‘Peer tutoring’ is students teaching each other in a planned way, for example checking each other’s calculations, explaining a worked example to a peer etc.) to teach each other how to do things, in this example, it is how to network and share ideas and views on blogspot....
i know if we had done this at home, mel would have called me at least 3 times to see if she was doing it right!!

learning styles and ICT
- ICT is very important in the development of the new way of learning. its vital to keep lessons up to date with technology as it is the new way students are learning
- with this new age learning we are sometime to focused on the technology we are using we forget to look at the education behind the technology..what ICT can teach us about the subject we are learning about.
- it is sometimes assumed that by using ICT we will ALL learn more however if it is not used properly we cn not believe that.
- the effect of ICT is maximised if it goes hand in hand with the changes to teaching and learning
- ICT promotes different learning styles. students should be able to take their time while using ICT.
- it cant be assumed that all students know how to use computers..however most will
- the use of visual stimulas helps students to remember what it being taught..if they can see it they will most likely remember more
- technology means that the teacher has to develop new stratigies to teach. the technology helps the teacher aswell. it makes the subject more intresting for the students and much easier to teach.
- using ICT for teachers whom education has always been textual and verbal approaches using technology may seem a challenge
- iusing ICT will improve motivation levels with the students...using visual stimulas highly motivates people
Networking
Ok today was kind of a tricky one seeing as my university comerades and i had to try and network into each others blogs so we could post stuff for each other on everyones sites. If i had done this task at home alone i would have been lost an hour ago. lost my wallet, phone and keys etc in the process. Gosh I've been mugged!!! I most probably would have blown up my computer screen. >insert smiley face< This activity does however teach you how to communicate and work in a group situation, a skill that modern day society requires, no demands. It is actually quite interesting to observe and participate in this group situation as you discover you have insights and ideas that you would not have had by yourself. This leads me to the idea of social constructivism. The sense of community we build,"Higher Order thinking" occurs and we develop communal awareness.
Hi guys just thought you should read this...
What would it have been like if this was done at 8pm last night???Well this could have been an interesting phone conversation, alot of swearing and some laughing about how stupid we are because we can't do it. Then the questions would have come flying 'how did you do that?' 'what does your screen look like?' 'how come mine doesn't look like that?' 'what's wrong with my #$!* *^#$@!* computer?'. This could have been a disaster last night, but because we were all sitting here helping each other we were talking it through. Guys this is SOCIAL INTERATCTION at its best. We are now a community, an online community who would have thought... Communicating in person and with a screen infront of the both of you is so much easier than over the phone, where little, stupid mistakes are easily missed.
