Reflection

During the course of MITE6024, I was introduced to various approaches to technology integration with education. And the learning theories associated provide solid ground on application of the technology integration. I enjoyed very much in this curriculum and found many of the course materials are highly usable in my profession as teacher. I look forward to hearing more about innovation in using technology in education.

The world is changing rapidly. And, we are already in the era of information explosion. Mastering ICT techniques will become an essential skills for both teachers and students. And at the same time, technology change not only on how we socialize, but also the way people learn.

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.
