Today, I spent a lot of time thinking and creating trying to create my third and final activity. Though I had already made an animation and created a quiz but I wanted the third activity to be about how students will be able to use their knowledge (based on class discussion) to create up their […]

The session today was rather interesting as we were taught how we could import our e-learning WordPress.com (2017) portfolio if we created our very own personal WordPress.com (2017) account. It would make it easier for us to have access to our portfolio for later reference if required. It was something that I was particularly concerned […]

I spent a lot of time working on my Kahoot! (2017) activity as I had to amend it from the survey into a quiz. The quiz initially consisted of twelve questions. Although I thought it would be short, I decided to add some more question to the quiz and place them in the form of […]

Class session was about m-learning or mobile learning. This term refers to an individual that can gain educative content through technological devices such as smartphones and tablets (Seppälä and Alamäki, 2003; Schwabe and Göth, 2005). This was rather interesting as I do believe mobile learning could come in rather handy with my second activity where […]

I, therefore, used a voice recorder to record parts again. Once I had logged into my PowToon (2017) account, I […]

6th February 2017 Within the session, we focused on blended learning and were given the opportunity to figure out our definition of Blended Learning and how we would define it to a seven-year-old. I came up with a definition where Blended Learning relates to a mixture of web-based technology such as videos, streaming or films […]

  During the session, we had the opportunity to learn about Gilly Salmon’s Five-Stage Model that explained how online and blended learners could be successful through support and structural development relating to the session. Salmon refers to this process as a scaffold as it is a great way for students to keep up with their […]

  Our class had a new tutor for the module introduced herself to us all. Seeing as she was new, she wanted to see what it is that we had chosen to do for our e-learning activities so that it would give her a rough idea of the sort of software we could use to […]

24th November 2016

  I planned for my animation to be less than three minutes. The reason for this was because I know that maintain the attention of young people can be quite hard if the media focus is not something that they would find interesting. I knew that if the animation went on for quite some time, […]
