Techology has become a necessary element of the 21st century world. Everything and everyone is getting online. We probably all agree that learning through informal ways always has a higher retention and recall then the formal learning sessions. This is why there is a growing popularity on making learning experiences more informal through the use of various fun games, online live interactions, blogs and wiki's.
In my first managing e-Learning lesson, Wendy helped us all create our very own blog. This seemed daunting at the beginning, but it is surprisingly easy. We learnt how to save pages to an online bookmarking site, delicious.com which allows you to access web pages on any computer and they will always be there. We used a Wiki space that Wendy created for this course http://today5.wikispaces.com. Here we were able to visit a mind mapping website http://bubbl.us/ and brainstorm e-Learning.
I believe that e-Learning opens up a new world of studying that is creative and with better results, when used appropriately. I hope everyone succeeds with this course and I will enjoy reading your blogs.
Kindest regards,
Mandy :)

ReplyDeleteYou have explored e-learning quite deeply.
It helps me to see where i could apply e-learning in the classroom clearly.
Thanks Amanda
