Week 9: Giving the Speech (Presentation)

In this class, we were asked to present the assignment that has been given to us. The assignment requires to us find a web 2.0 application and use it for teaching and learning process. Our group has chosen Facebook as our assignment title. We need to develop the Facebook page and modify it to suit the learning objectives that we want.

My group: Facebook

We have gathered the information needed and present it to the class. We choose Facebook because it has many applications such as posting notes, photos, announcement, links, quiz and many more. The applications can be manipulated easily to fit the target learners. We have chosen “The Solar System” as our topic and modify the Facebook page to fit in with the topic.

The First Group: Blog

This group focused on 'Endangered Species'. They have created a vodcast that featuring Chrispin as the Professor. I like their ideas as it makes me think on how I can use blog in my teaching days later. Their presentation has given me input on the potential of blog that can be use in my science class later.

The Crowd

The Second Group: Googlesite

This group has chosen wikis particularly Google Site. This platform is very useful and easy to edit. There are many applications that can be integrated in Google Site. It attracts me in a sense that Google Site is easy to create and fit the target learner. The Google Site is empty, so it is up to the teacher to fill it with the topic that he/she wanted. It will be very colourful because there are many templates that can be use as the design.

The Third Group: Yahoo Messenger (Chatting)

The third group presented on the use of Chatting applications (Yahoo Messenger) as teaching resources. It attracts me in a sense that eventhough this application has it disadvantages, it can be a very powerful learning tools. Students can chat with teacher directly if they have something to ask regarding the previous lesson or topic. It will be very convenient for teacher and students because they do not have to wait until the next day and meet face to face to ask questions. Teacher can just answer students questions through chatting and this will also saves time.

This assignment has taught us how to use web 2.0 applications in out teaching later. I hope that I can integrate the knowledge that I have learned in my future classroom.
