- I have started up this blog: mudjimbafamilydaycare.blog
- I have said hello on moodle group wiki
- I have printed out the list of everyones blog address
- I have invited 7 people to follow me
- I have commented on students using mobile phones in the classroom
- I have done the 'hats' exercise
- I have now embedded a wordle, we found doing them at uni didnt work but was possible at home. I collaborated with 2 students and finally my lecturer was able to help
- I have now embedded Youtube vidoes, (HTML, Compose, Save and Publish) successfully, this was exciting. I did download a converter for my science assignment which turned out to be a disaster when I went to submit my assignment, I havent had time to try the science teachers good sites she told us about but I am happy that I can embed them into my blog.
- I did the practice tests on moodle a few times and listened to the podcast
- I have collaborated to do my quizzes with 4 other uni students over 2 sessions and found this successful
- I have reflected in my notes which I will type out and put on the blog
- I have signed up for flickr and tried 3 times to download my 13 year old 200 photos to put on tag galaxy but it kept saying I have used up too much room so I am sorry but I have to drag myself away from this, I would love to do it but its just taken so much time
- First of all I embedde a voki with Shelley's help I have since done another one and need to embed it yet. I sent it to my old work place to thank them.
- I have discovered the magic of Youtube and how it helps you do things
- I have set up a web site http://robbiekeating.wix.com/mfdc but need to change the website name to www.mudjimbafamilydaycare.com, have not been able to achieve this. I even paid to keep the name for 12 months which was a mistake.
- I am still developing my knowledge/understanding and have started to apply some of it, maybe doing this is Evaluating (I could be experiencing HIGHER ORDER THINKING) in MEL so according to Blooms Taxonomy I am moving up.
- I did enjoy reading Prensky's theory and must say I really do have to start using this technology properly, it is just going to take time, the challenge of this subject is wonderful, if it didn't cost so much I would do the subject again. I do hope to pass and wouldn't it be good to form a club supporting each other to learn technology. If only there were more hours in the day.
- I have been using powerpoint for assignments and with time and patience I am learning how to use its features
- I have also set up a facebook site, but now need to delete photos from it if anyone knows how to do this

Hey Robbie!
ReplyDeleteI think you are well on your way to passing this subject. From what I can gather it is all about using the tools and then discussing how they will be or could be used in the classroom. Remember to consider the safe, ethical and legal side of things when writing in your posts too.(This is straight froma n email Angelina and Jacqui sent me)For example, how safe would a blog be for children to use etc. Would they need a password etc.
Also in regards to referencing I would say if you are quoting something or using something that is not your own work, reference, reference, reference. In our synposis' we defintiely need to reference...
Oh another thing is to use strategies like PMI's or SWOT's when analysing the 4 different digital tools. This demostrates your higher order thinking and will help you get a better mark as well!
I hope that this helps. You seem to be doing great:) Keep it up!
