Last Day

Sharing Artifacts (videos, audio, websites, WebQuest, web pages, wiki, blog) Students who teach seem to learn just as much as teachers. One way of learning is to create artifacts and share them with others. Artifacts that require students to collaborate, share problems, resolutions or solutions, peer review each others' work, and/or develop content to help each other or to teach foster students' reflective, critical and creative skills. We will discuss the merits and the challenges involved in sharing & artifacts both locally and worldwide. Group Discussions IT4ALL Mahara IT4ALL Moodle (Certificates Available) CO13 Ning
