Actvity 7


Module 4
Activity 7 Reflection
This activity required us to work collaboratively in terms of group interaction.   We were asked to provide feedback on members of the Group assigned to us by our tutor Mrs Hallowes.  I was assigned to group 4 and my Group 4 members are as follows Chad Grant, Collin James, Kathleen Jeffers and myself Jannis John. It was a great hearing my colleagues’ feedback on my work, and also I made constructive comments on their work.  Even though some of my colleagues was late in submitting their activity for feedback it all came together in the end. We look at peer assessment earlier in the module and this was evident in our activity.  This is a very good activity that should be utilized more in the classroom since it can help improve student’s ability because since they have a say in the learning process.

Assignment 2


Module 4


Assignment 2 Reflection
This assignment required me to create five creative formative assessment tools for ICT integration.   The assignment was revamp by our assessor since there were contradictions with the instructions on the blog and in the course material so this caused a delay in the submission of our assignment.
The tools created  address the learner with clear expectations of what is required to succeed also they fulfill a place to record the identity of the students being assessed, a description of what is being assessed, a list of criteria that are being assessed, a place for the level of assessment.  Also at least one aspect of ICT integration and at least one learning objective.  
This assignment was a manageable one for me since I was provided with examples of creating assessment tools both in reading and in activity six. Creating assessment tool is a very critical aspect in education since the main reason why students are assess is to find out what they know, identify areas of strengths and weaknesses.  I will definitely integrate what was learning in this Module to my teaching context. I know God will see me through with this assignment.

Module 4 
Assignment 1 Reflection
This activity posed a bit of a challenge to me in the beginning since I was not really sure what was required. After submitting my draft to my tutor I took a wrong path and my tutor help me refocus and keep on track. I work tirelessly to get this assignment completed and in the end it really paid off, hard work definitely bring success.  
I thank God for coming through for me as always and I am very pleased with the grade obtained.

Module 4
Activity 6 Reflection



This activity was a good activity for me I utilize the search engine Google .com to research topic basic information about computers; the questions researched on that topic are as follows  what is a computer? Identify at least three types of computers? and finally stating 4 functions of a computer. Also the sources of hyperlinks to where the information was obtained were listed.  The utilization of text boxes was used to display the questions, answers and hyperlinks.  At first my tutor could not gained access to the hyperlinks to establish where the information was obtained from since some of the boxes were moving here and there. My tutor share an idea with me on how to eradicate the problem and after applying it worked pretty fine.  An assessment was also design to assess the students in relation to the given topic.  The readings provided with this activity is very meaning.  I am definitely going implement what I learned in this activity.

Activity 5 Reflection

Module 4Activity 5 Reflection

This activity was very interesting one for me even though I had to recreate it on a second attempt. The main reason for this is due to the fact I was not quite sure what was required of me.  In the readings provided  for the activity it was noted that there a few things that must be taken into consideration with  assessment for example you must include the learners  name, what is being assessed, the areas or criteria being assessed and finally  a place where you  include marks  or comment.   


The activity focal point was creating assessment tool which you can utilize to assess assessment tools. To produce an assessment tool which can be use to assess assessment tools.    Also some light was shed on different rubrics and checklist that can be used in assessment.  Though this activity make me do additional work it was worthwhile I learn new information which was applicable and valuable to me.
