The day has a started a bit late for us, as we were not be able to cacth the bus and also there was an unexpected break of the the stop driver. Anyway as we get to the course, it had already started with a group discussion on "favourite technology-why they like it etc?
Except for the "Memrise" I have already known and used the other tools/websites. I have share my experiences on Voice thread with my colleagues and they seemed interested.
In the next lesson we talked more on blended learning, what it is and what it is NOT. Because most of the educators think that it is pure technology integration and technology revolutionise the education. These thought are NOT correct as tech integration and technology use in the classroom is just rubbish without pedagogy.
We also talked about DELIVERY and PROCESS in blended learning. Apart from spoon feeding, delivery and the process of information can be done in an authentic way in which students can interact and the teacher becomes the facilitator.
What's more we talked about VLE's- Virtual Learning Environments.
In the last session we mostly talked about Edmodo, which I have experience on. also I have also written and presented a paper on the topic in Italy 2 years ago. We have practised different options of Edmodo. For example we created posts, polls, quizzes by using the website. Here I found a nice video on the basics of Edmodo, have fun ;)
Note to myself: I will make a presentation on Voice thread on Thursday, and I'm really excited about it ;)
