Hello everyone, its my first posting here, just want to share some thoughts and findings with you guys and girls.
When I was doing my activity 4, I was reminded of a youtube video I saw recently. Anyone seen it before? Have a look if you havent, its really cool =)
The question I was thinking was whether this is under constructive affordance or collaborative affordance because it is a bit of both I feel. Creating a video so ingenious is definitely constructive while getting so many people to work together as one deserves to be labelled under collaborative as well. What do you all think?
If we could just get them to put some educational concepts in the video, then we can hijack it for our own use.
My reflections for week one (the KWLQs) is under http://seahqed527.blogspot.com/, is that right? or should I put my lesson reflections here?
Last thing to share is a very infomative list of collboration tools online @http://www.mindmeister.com/12213323
Go have a look!

Ah, I see that you found the same video I opted not to show in class.
ReplyDeleteI had wanted to illustrate how the creators of that video took full advantage of the affordances of YouTube instead of recreating TV. Likewise teachers need to identify the various affordances of technologies before they incorporate them into learning activities. If they don't, the activity might not be as meaningful.
BTW, you can opt to maintain your own blog, but you will keep having to include the URL of each entry in this blog. It is more convenient to just blog here. But it is your decision to make!

Oh wow!! cool cool video! how did they do it? The timing was perfect. COOOOL!
ReplyDeleteI agree that teachers should identify with the affordances first as different tools have different strengths in affordance as stated in our week 1 activity 4. Most tools contain more than one affordance depending on the way we are using them. Some tools are better for authentic learning while some are better for collaborative learning, so we have to figure out which affordance is most suited for the lesson.
