Social Media and Web Based Course Delivery

This week in #I4Ed our task was to discuss what social media is and would we use it in our classroom. Social media is a way we can share and collaborate with others and participate in social networking globally. In the google I4Ed community I had mentioned that I would love to incorporate it in my classroom. Students now are the "digital natives" and we as teachers need to bring this into our classroom as much as we can.

During Sophia's presentation she discussed Web Based Course Delivery. I have no experience with this type of learning so I don't really have anything to comment on about it. I do however, think that it is a valuable resource in many cases. I watched a video about online courses and the delivery of them, it stated that the teacher should present instruction through videos and podcasts, so it feels more "real" I guess. This summer I may begin to take some online courses to earn an Interior Design Diploma, we will see how that goes. I have been interested in this for a while and I love to decorate, see what happens.

Other then that, I plan to get through some tech tasks this long weekend and just enjoy the Olympics and spending time with my son. I'm scheduled to go to his V-day party at daycare at 3:45 so I've got to run!

Happy Valentines Day People! xoxo
