Week 8

Please tell me how your PPT project is going. What topic have you chosen? How do you feel about your partner? Does your partner help you work faster and better than working alone?

The power point project is going quite well. I am learning quite a bit from this assignment experience. There are many things in the power point prgram that I was very much so unaware of.

Thge topic my partner and I chose was " The Influence of Web Based Learning". The topic was picked by the two of us based off of both our experiences with learning through the web and we wanted our peers as well as our instructor to become more enlightened about web learning.

My partner is Cecelia Marshall and I am confident in my partner's ability to work and to think. She thinks of ideas quickly and has an open mind to other points of views.

With the help of my patner, the process of completion speeds up. Work is done by both sides to eliminate slothfulness.

week 7.

Teachers should not go too far, but should go far enough to get the students to relate & feel comfortable with the technology being used to complete classroom activities. I think by doing this, it would be a confidence booster for some students.

This could actually be argued from both points, because they could provide a means of communication from the instructor to the student. There are students that learned better from reading than listening, so it could work great for them. On the other hand, this could also be a huge distraction just the same to all students. Their focus could be decreased by with constant chatter amongst each other through the messages.

Well I would say depending on the student(s). There are students that learn differently than others. Some students do better learning things based on what they read and later shown and others must be told and shown, both at the same time.

It does enhance learning to students as well as instructors. I don’t think it is simple at all. It gets messages across to all people, because it automatically snatches attention when it is presented.

It all depends on what skill that is being taught or learned. Video games, believe it or not, can help develop some things quicker than reality. Reality does not always grasp the attention of its learners, but a video game is made to entertain and a learner must be entertained before he/she is taught.

Personality

I think students have different learning styles based on their personality types as well as other things. I don't think it is based only on their personality traits because if you take two individuals who have similar personality traits, their mental determination would be different. Even students with similar traits have to be taught differently. All natural born leaders can't instruct some one on how to complete a task.

I think the test would give me an idea of what the students could be like or what, according to the test, is said they should be like. I think, as a teacher, you would have to personally experience the students first hand in order to place them in a certain category and not go off a test that, according to trick questions, says the students are a certain way.
