Module 10 Activity 2 Reflection

For this activity we were provided with enlightening and useful information to effectively complete the activity following directly after. As a requirement of the activity we formulated scenario which either we knew or what happen at my school and identify or offer possible solutions.  

We also had to Participate in an online group discussion where you discuss responses to the scenarios, and reply with a possible solution to one of the scenarios you receive from our group.  We also focus on why we have an ICT policy.  I provided a vision for my school ICT policy after which I shared my school ICT policy with the group.

Finally we had to find and share ICT Policies from around the world in which I chose and share the Quintilian School policy. It was exciting looking at the different ICT policy for different places I found some to be slighty similar and different in some cases. ICT policy is very integral part in laying a smooth transition pathway to get effective ICT integration in the classroom.

This was a very informative and beneficial one to me. I gained new knowledge and experiences from this module.  Introducing projects in the 21^st century classroom is a very good initiative that has a lot of benefits to students since they will be actively involved in the learning process and constructing their own knowledge on a variety of topics. Projects shows a clearly picture of what students learn rather than completing an end of term test. Also with projects students strengths and weakness are highlighted.

Some aspects of this module was a bit challenging for me since I had no previous knowledge in particular web quest. I completed reading provided by course and also additional reading to get a clearer understanding of the different steps involve to create a webquest. This was a really great module.

At first glance the Assignment looked relatively easy but proved to be bit challenging for me. I have getting trouble finding and effective way to start my web quest and everything fell in place.  

I manage to complete my draft and final submission in due time, however I did not submit it in the assignment template so I had to redo and resubmit with the template.

I worked tirelessly on my Web quest and I hope in the end it was worth it.

Activity 12 Learner Support Documents

This activity was hinged on my learner support document for my Web quest on substance abuse to assist students with understanding concepts and other terms related to Substance Abuse. I created two worded documents. The first document provided information on nicknames for the substances being abuse; also it identified some short term effect of using the drug.

Students would play a game who wants to be millionaire after completing questions to win the prize. The second document dealt with effects and treatment of Marijuana, Heroine, Tobacco, Alcohol and Cocaine Abuse. This will definitely assist students in forming their own judgments after all the information they have read.

Activity 11: The Project Process

Identifying the process for the Web quest was a bit rough for me I was looking for the best way to get students attention. Also I was looking for how I can link students learning to their everyday situations and experiences.    

I also provided opportunities for students to think critically and creatively.  The process is like the body it set the stage and prepares you for the next step.

Activity 10 Resources

This activity required me to locate suitable online websites resources to assist in supporting topic Substance abuse for the web quest. It was a bit time consuming to locate the relevant websites to support the topic but in the end I manage to get some great ones.

When suitable resources are provided students will not waste any more time trying to find good resources even though they have to scan the resources and evaluate them before they use them. I enjoyed locating suitable resources for the students.
