With educational facilitators looking to incorporate more technology into learning context static websites such as weebly websites, wiki websites and blogs provide an excellent opportunity to actively engage the technologically savvy generation.
Websites such as weebly websites, which I have just recently created, are easy to make, are free, and are simple to use. They potentially provide a huge rang of learning directions such as students created sights as well as teacher created sights. These sites can lend themselves to cross-curricular work such as English, SOSE and ICT as well as can be used to focus predominantly on one subject. As well as the academic possibilities schools could also use these sites to keep stakeholders informed of the learning as well as get them actively involved in the learning process.
By allowing students to create static websites Learning Managers are letting students display their work in a meaningful way as well as providing students with a sense of ownership which is a very important concept in the learning process.
I believe that these static websites pose exceptional and unbelievable opportunities for educators and students alike and am very excited to continue delving into the rest of this course to discover other potential learning tools to be able to incorporate in classroom situations.
Hi Jess,
ReplyDeleteYour blog about the use of static websites was very interesting and I enjoyed the read! I too, can see your enthusiasm about the use of ICT's in a classroom environment. Furthermore, it is evident that you will make a dedicated and enthusiastic learning manager in the future with such as positive attitude towards this course! You are to be congratulated!
Have a lovely day,

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was very interested in your posting of static websites. I think that the use of the websites as a learning tool for students can be extremely useful. I think though that they can be difficult to do but extremely effective when done well
