How does the teacher employ blog for the learning activity?
- To store/document learning process [Pair #18]
- To record down the process of the maths trail [Pair #18]
- (1) Blog is created by the leader of the group, Empress Dowager of 3K (2) The creator invites students to post the measurements of the objects that the students come across during several activities held in the school. (eg. the length of a green bean, a round table in the canteen [Pair #18]
- (1) Learn to measure (2) Teach perimeter (2) Peer learning [Pair #3]
- (1) It is used as a Maths Trail (2) Use blog to capture the solution during Maths trail activity [Pair #13]
- The teacher used the blog the 'capture' Maths Trail 'live', to add in the competition in 'real-time' feel for the activity. Through this activity, we observe that more that data collection tools can come in play - using a handphone or digital camera.
- The advantage of capturing the 'process' (eg. how pupils can measure the table) helps the teacher to surface any commonly made errors.
- As Pair 18 has pointed out, blog can be used to capture the progress of an activity that takes place over time (eg. the growing of a plant that takes weeks) whereby pupils are able to track the 'changes' that take place over time and comment on their observation.
- Take pictures and post on moblog [Pair #18]
- The pupils used the 3G phone to take a picture of the object and how they measured it. then, together withthe answer they found, these were uploaded to the moblog [Pair #18]
- The pupils mms the pictures of their green beans to shown the growth in height [Pair #8]
- Measure object @ Maths Trail and photograph action and mms using 3G phone to upload to teacher's i-blog [Pair #3]
- (1) Measure the length (2) By posting commnets, pictures, etc using 3G phone [Pair #13]
- Pupils sent their pictures via mms to the blog (together with their answers).
- Pupils can also comment on each other's work (submitted) and ask questions on areas they do not agree on or not clear.
- (1) Through pictures uploaded (2) But given group work, may not be able to capture individual learning [Pair #18]
- From pictures and answrs posted up in the moblog [Pair #18]
- (1) The students are gropued into 4 groups, each group will have a username (2) Teacher can check the number of comments uploaded by each group to check the progress [Pair #8]
- mms upload of measurement and pictures to teacher [Pair #3]
- By viewing the posted commnets and clarifying the misconception immediately [Pair #13]
- Based on the posting by pupils, the teacher can involve the class in the marking process - where, when pupils assess each other's answers, they have to tap on their existing knowledge, too.
