In this course we have been introduced with numerous e-tools (presented by Dr Tan, shared by peers and through resources). Here i would like to reflect on facebook & twitter. Initially i was doubtful about the educational potentials(as reflect on my post) of facebook & twitter but with time learned why not try to employ such tools that layout and apps students already familiar with, specifically facebook. In fact facebook features can be used to design variety of student centered activities. like i would like to integrate it in my lesson by making students study group and integrate resources (text. photo, videos and other link) and encouraged students for self directed learning. i can initiate online discussion on course relevant topic and ask students to use platform for collaborative knowledge construction/sharing in group projects where students can share their researched material and reflect on each other work. Twitter: i found the best way of using twitter in class is crowd sourcing, pose a question to audience and ask to share their responses, view ideas, in short period whole class responses can be gathered. however it is imperative in activity design whether teacher explores responses in a real time that have impact on learning or follow through back channeling.
