Week 1b

Activity 10
First, post your reflections and responses to those three key questions to your tutor group forum so that you can share them with other members of your tutorial group.
As you read other postings think of your responses to the following questions:


  • How do your experiences and any outcomes from your reflection compare with those of other members of your group?
  • How might you account for any important variations you identify within your group? To what extent might these arise from factors such as:
    – variations between subjects/disciplines or sectors within education and training
    – curriculum design and accreditation procedures (at local, regional or national level)
    – different levels of resource availability, support and infrastructure
    – differences in cultural practices and norms?
You should discuss in your tutorial group what your experiences as learners and as supporters of learning suggest about the changes associated with technologies over your lifetimes and in different contexts
Activity 9

1. To what extent have the teaching practices you encountered and your own ways of behaving as a learner influenced the ways in which you now support the learning of others?
I'm more aware of individual learning differences.

2. How have your practices (as a learner and/or as a supporter of learning) changed over time, particularly in terms of your use of various digital technologies and resources?
I'm more confident in using technologies but only those relevant....I don't use technologies/resources just for the sake of them

3. Can you derive any useful lessons from your personal experiences about the impact of technologies upon teaching and learning practices?
Technologies don't always make the learning experience better, there are so many now but they need to be relevant to the learning. Don't assume that all students/tutors know how to use technologies.
