About Me

My photo
I am 28 year old mother of one who is finally taking action and changing my career/ following my dream. At present I am a Mother, Wife, Student, Case Manager and Maitre'd in that order! For the past 7 years I have been working as a Case Manager and Youth Worker with a focus on Training and Mentoring for early school leavers. It was doing this that got me thinking about teaching and how I would like to work with young people before they leave school. I would eventually love to work as a Guidence Counsellor and put all my years working as in Case Management to good use but that is a longer term goal and I am taking things one day at a time!A you can see from the title of this blog I love quotes! So I will finish up with a quote that I love from one of my favorite authors,which I think summarizes this course perfectly for me! "Experience: the most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.” C.S Lewis

Some Ideas

Some ideas on how we could use Blogs and Wikis as tools for teaching. This is a reflection of the learning activities for Week four ICT;S.

After going through this weeks learning activities I can see how blogs and wikis could be a good tool for encouraging student participation both in and outside the classroom and a good way of building trust and enhancing communication outside of class. Here is what I have so far. Anyone please feel free to add to the list!
  • Collaboration of student notes
  • Lesson reflections
  • Discussion forums on lesson topics
  • Assessments/Projects
  • Homework activities
  • Tutoring

    Hi Meegan
    I like your ideas and in particular the part that you have highlighted- I agree that blogs and wikis are all about 'enhancing communication outside of the classroom'. They allow for deepening understanding and looking at ideas from new perspectives,
    Thanks
    Naomi
