Assessed Activity 8.2

Reflection 

What I have learnt

I am surprised at how much I have learnt over the course of doing the Digital Learning Technology paper. I have learnt it isn't always what you know. With the introduction of sites like twitter and LinkedIn it allows me to broaden my personal learning network. Incorporating interests and links to sites I have created or an online c.v gives me an advantage over those who don't have an online presence and gives me a better chance at achieving success in the industry.
I have also learnt a lot more about how i would go about teaching somebody anything, the way that people perceive information and different ways to learn. Ubiquitous learning or in a classroom. 

Things that I liked about the course

 I enjoy learning about technology that will help to improve every day life such as gmail and google docs. Because some people don't have Microsoft office and using google docs is a lot more than just getting your paperwork done.
Learning about creating a Wiki and using Wiki Educator was interesting because of how they incorporate HTML and different code into the wiki. Blogger was another interesting tool how you can write your blog post in HTML or plain text. 
I enjoyed the Interactivity of the course. I like the sessions on Adobe connect and if i was sick i could be in class from home.

Suggestions for the future

  • perhaps an adobe connect session where you have all of your students online.
  • have the students make a video introduction about themselves and link it into their blog.

  • http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/php_tutorial_for_beginners/
  • Web Monkey is a free online tutorial site where i found a tutorial for PHP. I like this site because it is for beginners like me. this is similar to the project i want to undertake so i can learn PHP at the same time as writing a basic guide.

assessed activity 6.1

E-PORTFOLIO:
An electronic portfolio (also known as an e-portfoliodigital portfolio, or online portfolio) is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files, images, multimediablog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression, and, if they are online, they can be maintained dynamically over time.

This for of information works well in a digital learning environment. Because when you are going to an interview for a job in I.T. ask yourself which cv is going to look better the one printed out on a piece of paper or, the link that you give to the employer so he can view your cv online?

assessed activity 5.1

5.1.1
Reflecting on the PLN lecture with Joyce Seitzinger I have alot of new information to take on board particularly with building my personal learning network. Filtering that information is going to be an on going proccess that I will deal with by adding to my blog, posting links to twitter and my wiki. I think I need to branch out more in terms of social networking I dont really use much technology in that way. Between my wiki and my blog, I think i have a relatively good platform to build up my portfolio and I have the skills to now link those projects, pages, images and videos together.
Balancing my PLN with study in a way is quite simple. because without even knowing it, just by being in the DLT class has broadened my PLN probably ten fold. As the semester continues to proceed im sure my PLN will expand even further.

5.1.4 
I think that a personal learning network will give me an edge because it's like i'm not alone. if i need help or guidance the information is out there. Its about my journey and sharing the information that i find along the way and make it look good and also have fun while i'm doing it.

Educational Institutes and the relationship between the different technologies








assessed activity 3.1

Organisation. E.I.T Taradale
3 digital learning technologies and their role:


  • Wikieducator: This displays tutorials, resources, activities and makes them available to students. this plays a major role in the class room when the tutor is referencing things that are from his wikieducator page. http://wikieducator.org/VirtualMV
  • E.I.T Online: This is a tool that displays all of the course information for students. Students can enroll in courses and receive important notices via student webmail. http://eitonline.eit.ac.nz/
  • Adobe Connect: This is an exceptional tool allowing students to connect to a live lab session via video link. Contributing by chat session or microphone.

I have made a comment on another class members wiki. i felt a little invasive. i didn't ask if i could make a comment first i just went ahead and did it for purposes of the course.

but it was only a hello. which is harmless and wont hurt anyone :)

assessed activity 2.3

i find that the biggest problem with ubiquitous learning is juggling life's busy schedule. finding time to research and plan. setting aside time to deligate between other papers, social life and study.


assessed activity 2.2

the most memorable integrated technology would have to be the mavis beacon teaches typing. I learned from a very young age and i can still remember having to keep up a steady pace of typing so that i could win the car race 20+ years later :)

one instance i can remember where technology was a barrier to my learning was last year when i was doing the Introduction to programming paper and i didn't know the enrollment code to access the course requirements on EIT online. I had to wait a whole week until i could ask the tutor in class what the enrollment code was. thus costing me valuable time and learning.

assessed activity 2.1

Resource-based learning:
1) Last year when i began the Diploma of Information and Communication Technology we had to build a website from scratch. Most of the learning we did was from resouces that we had found ourselves. such as online tutorials, online books and actual books. my brother bought me a book on HTML5 javascript and css which was of little use because my reading is very slow and if i am not in the right head space i find it hard to concentrate and retain information. the effectiveness of this method was positive but i found it to be very challenging.
2) e learning would be integrated by have the resources online such as wikipedia, online books, kindle and online tutorials like you-tube. 

Inquiry-based learning: 
1) last year i finished the Internet and web development 500 paper and this year my tutor M.Verhaart has set up a series of questions/activities to refresh our memories and skills on building a basic website.
2) e learning has already been integrated with the questions/activities being on wikieducator

Project-based learning:  
1) currently i am studying a diploma in multimedia and web development. One of my papers include project based learning, where by i must carry out and complete a project with no class time. it is solely upon myself to research my chosen topic design and build a multimedia presentation then present it at the end of the semester. i think this is a very effective way of teaching students how to prepare for a real world project.
2) e learning could be integrated by maybe setting up a session on adobe connect for disscussion or a url for a google document in which the tutor and students could upload images of the assignment and recieve feedback via comments.

Game-based learning: 
1) when i was very little my parents bought me and my brothers an educational suite of games. and one of them was Mavis Beacon teaches typing. this was an excellent way of teaching someone to type on a qwerty keyboard. the effectiveness was very positive because when i got to high school i had a very fast typing speed of around 40-50 words per minute.
2) e learning was already integrated because it required a desktop pc to run the application.

assessed activity 1.2

VAKOG stands for Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory and Gustatory (human sensory systems)

(NLP) stands for natural language processing.

1)  according to James.F.Allen NLP and VAKOG are closely related because NLP uses VAKOG to "attempt to understand, or produce one or more human languages, such as English, Japanese, Italian, or Russian. The input might be text, spoken language, or keyboard input. The task might be to translate to another language, to comprehend and represent the content of text, to build a database or generate summaries, or to maintain a dialogue with a user as part of an interface for database/information retrieval. Similar techniques can be used for spoken language by adding a system for speech recognition."
Encyclopedia of Computer Science
4th 
Pages 1218-1222 

2)according to Ralph Grishman: Natural language processing has two primary roles to play in the storage and retrieval of large bodies of information: providing a friendly, easily-learned interface to information retrieval systems, and automatically structuring texts so that their information can be more easily processed and retrieved. This article outlines the organization of a natural language interface for data retrieval (a “question—answering system”) and some of the approaches being taken to text structuring. It closes by describing a few of the research issues in computational linguistics and a possibility for using interactive natural language processing for information acquisition.

1) according to OSBORNE. M 2013 ubiquitous learning is anytime anywhere. for example if the river underneath the bridge you are crossing is muddy instead of clear, you can look up google maps and find the mountain range where that water is coming from. then pull up geological data to find out that the mountain has recently had a lot of rainfall.
Osborne, M. (2013) Ten Trends 2013: Ubiquitous learning. Retrieved from 
http://www.edtalks.org/video/ten-trends-2013-ubiquitous-learning


2)according to the education 2025 website. Ubiquitous learning is often simply defined as learning anywhere, anytime and is therefore closely associated with mobile technologies. The portability of computers and computing devices has blurred the traditional lines between formal and informal learning.

introduction

hi my name is cameron garnett. i am 30yrs old from napier. my interests are cricket, swimming, zombies, playing guitar, drums and cooking.

the implications of students making introductions on their blog posts is, anyone can see that post. Maybe someone that they didn't want know about them has access to personal information about that person. I could be hacked and people could say things about me that aren't true. my Facebook page has been hacked before and someone posted a comment about me on my page. and i was very mad. i found out who the person was. it was intended to be a joke but i didn't find it that funny.
