We're getting towards the end of this section of blogging, so now it is time to go back through them to make them more applicable to the task at hand. As this blog has now been going for over a year, it has given me plenty of time to reflect on the things I would use in a classroom. It has also given me lots of chances to talk to teachers about how the differnt technologies have been used in their classrooms. Many of them have given me very useful ideas to incorporate some of the things we have learned here. Most have come from teachers who have just started in the last few years, and reflects their experience with this new technology. Not all of them are necessarily young, but all have used technology in different careers. Some older teachers have shown a mistrust for this new stuff. As I am an older learner, this stuff does not come naturally to me. However, I can see that this is the way of the future, and when it is explained properly, it can be seen to allow some very powerful teaching/ learning. To this end, I have thought very hard about the things I will use, and some of my thinking may prove to be a bit out of the square. Never the less, I believe it can be used to gainfully engage a variety of learners. After re reading this several times, I still believe that it doesn't relect the amount of reflecting I have done on these topics. Bruce Lee suggested that in the study of martial arts, the student should take in what was apllicable to them, and ignore anything that wasn't. As I have had a couple of attempts at doing this course, I am well aware that there I may appear to have not grasped any of it. As I am a relatively deep thinker, it may be that my lack of essay writing ability could be holding me back. As with most Uni subjects, I would perform substantially better with an exam, rather than assignments. I suppose I will have to get used to this as it appears that this style of learning (and assessment) is the way things are headed.
