Wikispace

Wikispace as demonstrated on the above clip shows how to use Wikispace and it can be manipulated into the incorrect information or more information can be added by other users. Some the information is reliable but other times it is not. It is best this Wikispace is not used for educational purposes but could be used to develop a better understanding on a topic and then expand to books and journals. The task which was given was to find out what education may be like in the future as technology is evolving. I found that education will develop alongside technology as technology is the key to education everything is done through a computer or software. There is no space for old technology only for newer and better to develop society to become independent. I still have strong opinions, which technology should not take over the social aspect, of learning. Vygotsky said that social interaction combined with cognitive activity develops individuals learning.

Blog Review

I have chosen the edu.blogs.com written by Ewan McIntosh who is teacher. The reason that i think this blog is valuable enough to be on my blog is because the writer and his colleges are using current education research with design thinking skills from the creative industries. They have been conducting experiments on different creative ways of learning. They have conducted this research around different parts of the world. The blog also comments on how the government have favorite subjects which they want to enforced in the curriculum and that all the debates lead back to history. The blog is showing how design thinking, can help to provide a learning application. That can be used on anything, which can develop teachers thinking on how they can give children a better experience of learning.

Pros and cons of an Web 2 App

The negative points about this Web 2 app are that it is difficult to use at first as it the layout is different and hard to understand. Also when creating a Glogster it was hard for me to input images and videos as it is very sensitive example is when I was trying to input images of birds it was hard to add another image. Also there is not much choice of design i personally did not like any of the designs most of them are themes around something. The positive about the Web 2 app is that the teacher is able to create a lesson based around Glogster, which would contain videos and images which would help children use all the learning styles. Another positive is that the Glogster has bright and creative pictures and design would catch the eyes of the children.
