Module 3 :Reflection on Assignment 3

I really enjoyed this assignment because of the love I have for constructing lesson plans. As I looked back at the way I used the criteria to work on my assignment I can truely say that I have accomplished my task. I am pleased with my grade on this assignment and I have gained more valuable information on integrating ICT into my teaching and learning process. This assignment have given me the boost that I needed and I know if I teach with the same enthusiasm my students are going to love the activities that I have set out for them. I am so happy for the opportunity given to me to complete this course.

Module 3: Reflection on activity 11

In the Initial Stage I was not sure what to do concerning this activity. However, I figured it out and was able to navigate my way around it without help. I created a twitter account but because of my first trial I had to take my time navigating it. While surfing through the site I was able to pick up and learn using the tweet and other comments made by followers. The advantages of using social media is great because they help in developing users self confidence and at the same time educating them on various aspect in life while academically building their learning process. There are several ways in which social media/ network can enhance learning and this can be done through collaboration of ideas. You can use twitter, facebook, Youtube, skype and diigo as PLN (personal learning network) to collaborate which would help other teachers and myself in the process.

Module 3: Relection on activity 10

 The readings that were done in activity 10 focus on social network/ media. The Social media allows me to meet other expert in my industry and gives me an opportunity to research and add my own ideas via the media. Social media provides a platform where we can connect, communicate, support, collaborate and ask and answer questions, also it provides a pathway where we receive and share ideas, resources and experiences, and it helps us solve problems through various exercises / activities and gives us an opportunity to brainstorm together. 

As I reflect on some of the questions asked pertaining to this activity I know that we can be as smart as we want to be depending on our goals and objectives towards a particular task. Smart workers are highly motivated, committed and are dedicated to their work, they have a clear desire to do their job well and aim to improve their performance. Smart workers interface with effective networks for their own self development and for further improved productivity in their place of work. Social media can also be an effective learning tool for engaging with learners and communicating with parents, students and communities. I am now at a stage where I can truly say because of social media/ network, the opportunity is given to me to take part in this online course which requires the use of social network/media.
