Today I Learn, Today I Question (week 9)

19 Nov 2011

In this week, we had learned about the Pedagogical Strategies, Activities, Web Resources. There are a lot of web resources which is suitable for teaching and learning purposes. The website provided by madam Ng , web 2.0 resources, shows the top 20 web 2.0 must haves for every 21 st century classroom. Most of the web 2.0 I just got to know today, as a MIT student, I think I am very outdated about the information for online learning. I think I should have to expose more in the online world to update myself…

Today’s presentation’ title is ‘Teaching and learning with internet:Pedagogical strategies, activities,
Web resources 2.0’, by our classmate Dee, there are a few type of pedagogical strategies derived from the learning theories, behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism, social construtivism situated learning, and the latest one is connectivism (Siemens & Downes )2006. Constructivism is the most influential educational theory of our time (Bencze,2005). Actually, there is no single pedagogy that provides absolute success for all students. However,there are practices emerge to:Ensure meaningful learning, ensure the practical pedagogy applies.

In the presentation, Dee also introduced a completely new online learning platform to us, Schoolgy.I think Schoology designed mainly for T & L purpose, it is clean from distraction, it allow teacher to see the students’ performance, engagement to the course through the analysis and presented in a graph. I thick this website is very useful to all of us which intended to create an online learning platform.

Before the class end, every group take turn to show their website created for the assignment 3. We were ask to write a full report for our assignment 3 and hand in before the course end.
