You don't have to be an Einstein.....
I fully agree with Baraat and Dyana on the availability of information on the web, in fact at times we are spoilt for choice. With one click of the mouse, the world is in front of you. Do we need more?
I've already shared the link to RAFT, which I use quite extensively in class besides Concept Mapping. Where search engine is concerned, my all time favourite so far has been Google.com. But now with the plethora of web engines shared in this course, I'm surely going to upgrade my knowledge to benefit my students. Baraat's 'Audioboo.com' is wonderful...I need to see how I can integrate it in the syllabus. I'm going through the web engines at my disposal to see which ones suit my needs and the needs of my students.
In another task this week we had to specify our Learning Objectives using the ABCD module. This I found to be easy and comprehensible. Like Dyana, even I blend skill and task based objectives in class.... that what pertains to the syllabus.
Finally, I feel that all teachers need to remember that, technology and information should go to the students through proper guidance. We need to always act as facilitators, when the young learners research through the web, for a certain topic.
I'm sure all will agree that: " Every tool placed in proper hands can create a masterpiece."

Yeah you are right Paramita.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to convey as much knowledge as we can to our students.
Now with the help of technology and the amazing benefits it can offer, if we
can exploit it in the right way then our students can enjoy the fruits of our
labor.
Like you, I was so much into googling something before but now I now
I know which website I can refer to particular purposes.
Let's work together until our course project.
