Reflections on my learnings

Reflect on the learning potential of a blog in your context.
Blog address: http://zoestudders.blogspot.com/

My blog has allowed me to add content that I feel is relevant to my learning context, and to join and look at other peers ideas on the same subject.  My blog feels more personal.  Being reflective, and sharing ones learning, are very admirable qualities to aspire to; however, one needs a lot of time to keep up with all the things required in a day.  I am not sure how good I would be keeping up with Blogging – I rarely visit my Facebook page, and post to even less.  I would need to have a ‘need’ to do it.  If I was to encourage my students to be reflective learners, and to use this medium to reflect in, then I would most certainly need to model this in my everyday life.

Like the Weebly tool.  I can see how this can keep growing as a subject grows.  I would need to pay for the full version so that I could include video clips.  It would be a useful tool for keeping in students up-to-date with lesson material.  Maybe the lesson material could be put up at the beginning of term, or at least on a weekly basis for students and parents to keep track of the learning.

I was not able to embed a Ted Talk into my prezzi.  Embedding a YouTube clip, image and text was very easy.  Prezie was easy to learn and to use.  I have always wondered how people managed to create presentations like this – and you see them all the time.  I will endeavour to use this tool in the future.
