Reflections - 6th December 2008

Yesterday was a race against time. I had till 5pm to submit my reflections. Have completed it but do not feel satisfied as I felt I was rushing through it. Wish I had more time.

Happy holidays to all.

Reflections - 4th December 2008

Climax Scene………….
The last face to face session was like a climax to a drama.All of us came in with data from WIHIC and SPSS to tabulate the result. We were asked to produce a mini-research paper by lunch time. My…I thought it was a challenge. We divided our work and went into action. Google docs came to our rescue. Individual’s work was shared with the rest of the group. It was like the four of us trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle. Working collaboratively engages not only our affective domain but the psychosocial as well. All of us were task-oriented and our involvement was at it’s peak. What is important in this learning process was that all of us were motivated and committed; was it because we were adult learners? Will the level of enthusiasm be the same for the students we teach? I believe it’s all in our hands. The kind of learning environment we create. There was something interesting about the way we used the rubrics during the session to assess our friends' blogs. Creating the rubric is one thing. The end-user has to understand the criteria in the rubrics well before attempting to assess or evaluate work done by their peers. I witnessed this yesterday. Students need to be guided through before handling these rubrics.

My Accolades….ha ha
Creation of my blog is the beginning of my ICT environment journey. From I really don’t know how to do… to being able to write, reflect, insert music and images….. I gave myself a pat on my back.Did I stop there? No! Went on to start a WIKI account with the help of Kelvin, Sakun & Sharon. Do visit this site, it’s about Wubbels, one of the Learning Environment Gurus’. http://www.twfans.wetpaint.com/
Slowly and steadily I realized that my fear was getting out of me as most of these tools are user-friendly.You just need to put your fear aside.
Next……. I worked on google.docs, which actually saved a lot of time particularly in group work. All of us were glued to the monitor actively engaged.
Finale was the submission of the mini-research write-up, a collaborative work by my group.

Appreciate all the guidance from Dr Quek for walking us through this journey, the bubbly and helpful coursemates who kept the 2 weeks going and Group 2 for the fantastic & fabulous collaboration. Our group dynamics are really good. Thank you so much.
