How does the teacher employ blog for the learning activity?
- (1) Teacher uses it as a form of motivation to pupils for Maths (2) She includes useful links for pupils to practise division, games for multiplication and some test exercises [Pair #12]
- Puts in hyperlinks with respect to topic [Pair #17]
- (1) Make use of interactive weblinks to get pupils to learn about Division (2) Make use of games for pupils to learn multiplication (3) Self testing on multiplication (4) Evidence of managing what pupils did through comments (4) Convenience of execution of lesson [Pair #2]
- The teacher employs hyperlinks for students to have hands-on practice on Division, Multiplication to add fun to online learning [Pair #7]
- The blog is used to host hyperlinks to websites that the teacher finds useful to the pupils - which becomes a one-point access for pupils - convenient - as pupils do not need to remember so many URLs and it saves them the hassle (and time) to enter long strings of characters (which could be difficult for primary school pupils).
- With the resources linked up on the blog, the teacher could have referred pupils to the blog for practices/exercises during the lesson (in the computer lab). Alternatively, pupils can access the resources from home for practice or reinforcement.
- Through the games, practice exercises and test practice papers [Pair #12]
- Not clearly stated; Go into other explore [Pair #17]
- Can't tell pupil participation [Pair #2]
- By following very user-friendly instructions to achieve self-directed learning in a lively and fun way [Pair #7]
- Teachers would have briefed pupils on the task before they access to the website during the lesson, to carry out hands-on activity (with the applets or online games).
- (1) No monitoring system except the number of comments if any posted by pupils (2) Suggestion: Create a Feedback form on games/test in the post
- Not really monitored; independent study [Pair #17]
- No evidence except through single comment by a pupil who tried 'Division' Activity [Pair #2]
- By inviting students to post comments, the teacher can have an insight into students' feelings and enthusiasm towards the activity [Pair #7]
- As pupils do not directly input their 'responses' to the blog, their learning is probably monitored by the online activity (that they accessed - if it comes with some features to feedback to pupils on their inputs). Alternatively, they could be accessed through other means (eg. paper exercise).
- Pupils can also post comments/feedback on the resources to the teacher.
