Reflection Week 6

This week was very important and i am very happy that podcast have made it into the online educational classroom. I just started to use podcast this semester for my personal classes that i teach and it is great. With podcast, we have that student teacher relationship that is so hard to get unless everyone is in a classroom setting. However, allowing the students to see what is happening it drowns his or her attention rather than text on a page that loses me as a student with a few hours into assignments. But having that interaction is great and i recommend this to any educator.

Reflections Week 5

My reaction to the technology I have just been introduced to is stunning I did not there was a place to save the bookmarks of your findings and share them with others. However, I have to look at there is so many social media sites out there and everyone is doing the same thing on all of the sites something that involves calibration. I believe Google has facilitated this best by adding there tool in an all in one place for the users to get to instead of logging into multiple sites. If the tool were built into Google it would be an excellent tool in my arsenal but my usernames and password slits is growing. This will be a great tool for students as well even though some links may be blocked from school it is very true that he or she can go home and get to the site but without adding control and seamlessness to the students access makes the process cloudy and the student has less time registering for this tool than learning. In this class since we are leaning about technology It is a great fit but for someone that is not tech savvy we want to focus their attention on one tool and leverage that tool. Organizing bookmarks on any site that facilitates that storage and social media aspect is great and puts a college student and or professor at a great advantage to always have that knowledge stored in a safe location. As well as have the ability to share that knowledge.

After reading the article I think that e-portfolios are a great resource for k-12 students as well as higher education. I think that if information is presented to the student in an interactive way and can continue to draw the student in by connecting the portfolio to some social media sites. After I build up my ideals and develop my portfolio it will help me become a better communicate through my knowledge that is relied from my portfolio. As well as build up my knowledge of Web 2.0 technologies embedded into the e-portfolio site.

Reflections Week 3

My wiki is in the first stages of development wiki’s can be very good or very bad the information that you provide in a wiki must be accurate and up to date. My ideals are more on virtualization of the classroom and interaction of the student and teacher relation. There are many advantages of a wiki it helps get the information out to your users in an organized and well format. Keeping wikis up to date ensures that the correct information is given to the user as well as accurate and trustworthy data. The disadvantages of wiki’s is almost the same as the advantages if your data is old and unorganized it makes it very hard to find and navigate. If the information is stale of to much inaccurate data the wiki becomes inactive and not a trustworthy source of information.

               As for more web 2.0 technology there is so much out there but to do videos on a wiki can help explain more from the wiki page by allowing the end user to interact with the author more.
