Module 2 Reflections

Module 2 introduced me to a new possibilities. I learnt that there are many programs and software that can be used within the classsroom that allow students to be collaboriatve and interactive with their learning.Creating blogs in the classroom is a worthwhile opportunity for both students and teachers to share information, monitor student's progress in assessment tasks and track homework. Web 2.0 has the potential for students and teachers to explore and produce their own creations through problem solving, networking and multi-tasking. In the classroom, there are so many opportunities to use blogging. I will endeavour to make good use of it in English classes especially with relevance to the study of visual literacy. Students have the potential to present their opinion about a topic, a piece of artwork, visual literacy etc. The issue of privacy is a concern for me so I will ensure I have set the maximun privacy settings and will encourage the students to also do so.
