activity gives opportunities to students who are more kinesthetic and visual.
An excellent actiivity of relating transformation to daily life !
wow..nice blog and relevant pictures
Interesting way of learning transformation.
Comprehensive blog and can expect interesting and attractive photos posted by students. Will probably arouse interest in students to revisit it.
Pupils love to showcase their own work. This activity allows them to have autonomy to upload and share their views and ideas. It will definitely generate interest among the pupils.
The learning activity has illustrated the possibility of delivering a segment of the topic online (an eLearning activity) - as it comprises of:
- introduction (from video)
- to learning from the website
- followed by having puils to demonstrate their understanding with images capture (either using camera or gathered from the internet)
- peer review of their work while the teacher can asses their (as well as their peers') understanding through the work posted in the blog.
In the case when it is delivered as an eLearning module:
(i) Independent learning - through eVideo and online activity
(ii) Discussion and Peer review - where they can collaborate
(iii) Using the "Comments" feature, teacher can provide distant support to pupils.
