Wiki Blog

The mobile phone wiki was a good activity for me.  I am finding that the more of these activities I do, the more I am learning about ways to use, and use correctly, my ICT utensils. For example, in my wiki entry I utilised the hyperlink feature. The problem is that I did not recognise that I could actually name the link, rather than insert the very long link address. I now have learned this feature and am using it everywhere as novelty value. ( novelty value)

I see within myself less anxiety around the ICT learning and a greater sense of ‘rising to the challenge’ Some Constructivist learning I.e. breaking down m y reality of scary ICT and replacing it with friendly ICT. Behaviourism as well can be identified I.e. being rewarded for trying new things (Positive reinforcement).

I enjoy participating in the scaffolding exercise and do believe it is catering to all of my learning modalities. But even more importantly, I am experiencing firsthand the benefits of scaffolding, thereby not just learning, but deep rooted learning through sight, sound, participation and exhilaration at some levels of success. As a translation to the classroom, I can implement such initiatives with firsthand knowledge (expert content) of the benefits to pedagogy.
