My Reflection on the course MITE6024

In the course, I've learned different learning theories and how to apply these learning theories in learning design of TLAs. Lots of useful Web 2.0 learning tools are introduced in the course. I've tried to apply some of them in my lessons in my serving school, for example, Mindmeister, Photostory, Google Docs and Voicethread. My students learnt these tools very quickly and they enjoyed the lessons. I think that this course is very useful in my career. I enjoy this course.

Mobile learning

My chosen example was in C.&M.A. Chui Chak Lam Memorial School, which use tablet PC to enhance the classroom learning and after class revision.

The school use tablet PC with Microsoft Office OnNote in Microsoft office suite to authoring vairous types of teaching material. The material will then be stored and distributed. OneNote can also be used to mark students' work directly on it. A multimedia notes is made possible by using the software, which save a lot of time for students to take notes and it also raise the interest of students.

The tablet PC bring mobility to learning to extend the classroom activities even when students go home. Students continue to collect information on selected topics in order to prepare for the presentation. The language learning software teaches the students English and Mandarin pronunciation. And the tablet pc can also be used for designing art work during the art lesson.

Another main advantage shared by OneNote is that students' homework and exercise can be easily managed. Parents can access their child's work at anytime. For teacher, the software provide a convenient way(indexing) to manage the teaching progress in different classes.

The induction of Tablet PC and OneNote served as electronic school bag for the school, which has proven to be a successful case in the school. Students found more fun in learning and more willing to learn. And they have stronger initiative to share their view across the network than in traditional classroom. Most importantly, the classroom is made more interactive with the help of this innovative practice.

reflection on learning in MIT6024

I am not familiar with new technologies. At the begining I was afraid that I would be too old to learn new technologies. During the week when we were given the assignment on Mindmeister, I spent a long time before I could draw the mind map.

Through attending that course, I realize the importance of meta-cognitive skills and collaborative learning. I learn to develop my own knowledge. I am glad that my team members are nice and friendly. They are willing to share their experiences with me.
Now I get more confidence in using new software tools. I try to learn from others through their posts in Blog.

Learning is really an active process!
