9th Week

Today was an important day for us as we have to present our Web2.0 based project. There were four groups in which each group presented different tool.



The presentation started with group one who presented their blog. They were using Blogger to create their blog to teach ‘Endangered Species’. This gave us ideas on how to integrate the applications if we are using blog for our future teaching.









Next presentation is by group two who had chosen Wikis as their platform of learning. They used
Google site as the tool to enhance studetns learning as it is good and flexible to be designed. This is suitable to be used for teaching and learning as it could meet the needs of primary school students.








After that, group 3 presented their Media Sharing tool in which they have chosen instant messaging as an after class activity in which they can send videos to the studetns and also have discussion through video call. This is useful as students could get immediate feedback from teacher and also their peers. Yet, a bit mistake was made by them as they should choose other platform from web 2.0 tools such as facebook, googlesite, blogs, etc as the platform for them to share videos and any other media type.




We are the fourth group and we chose Facebook as the online tool. Using facebook, we use the quiz application whereby we created a set of questions about ‘Solar System’.
However, we made a mistake because we did not fully explore the applications in facebook that can be used as educational website for teaching and learning. Thanks to Prof. because she gave us the second chance to improve our educational website.




All in all, the presentations made by all of us had made me realised that Web 2.0 had provided lots of tools for teachers to be exploited in enhancing science teaching.
