During Week 2, (from Ruki)
I learned much about finding/locating information on the web for research, teaching and learning purposes. Many web sites have numerous limitations and it vitally imporatnt to be very wise and selective in the choice of an appropriate search engine for a particular academic task, in a specific subject context. Now, I realize the importance of giving proper and adequate instructions to students on how to choose search engines in toder to enhance learning.
From the E course material I also learnt that 'Google' is not the most appropriate, useful and inclusive search engine. I leant the importance on investigating and searching for otherseb sites as well. There are many other sebsites that I can brief students on.The information and material I gathered on search engines will greatly assist me in my teaching career; to provide guidance for my students.
The ABCD model was expremely useful. The class reading prompted and encouraged me to ponder, reflect and critically evaluate the teaching objectives for the classes that I'm currently teaching. I also reflected on the classes that I have taught duing the past years; how I could have been more specific in my teaching objectives and enhanced the learning process of my students to a far greater extent. In retrospect, I realise the improtance of focusing more on Audience, Bahaviour, Condition and Degree of the teaching objectives that I design for my classes, in order to enhance learning outcomes and be more creative in the design of leanring circumstances.

Hi Ruki,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've been so successful in getting your blog going and posting on Nicenet. It can take a while to get used to all the different formats!
I'm looking forward to "seeing" you in Week 3!

Hello Ruki,
DeleteIt is magnificent to hear that you got lots of ideas as we all did!I agree with that the search engines we got are huge but we have to be careful in selecting the suitable ones!
Thank you
