Reflection

Lesson 15
This was a most interesting class. We reflected on the Course---- its duration,content, exercises done, its value to personal development and the role of Techonology Integration in Education.
We all agreed that the Course was an extremely useful one,but more time was needed to treat some of the topics for a fuller understanding.
We are all of the opinion that as far as if possible, all teachers should be exposed to the training.

Reflection 6

This lesson was my most challenging. I guess if I were more familiar with the computer I would have grasped certain concepts more easily.

We created Animating Bouncing Balls and had fun with them.

Reflection 5

In this lesson I realized that Digital Devices are really the teacher's friends and are truly great help in teaching I was exposed to some devices that I had only heard about, but never seen.

We learned how to create a video. I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. It was such great fun going outside to videotape our pictures to be included in the making of our video.

I was so fascinated . I can imagine how much so students would be when exposed to this type of activity in their learning process.

Reflection 4

In this lesson we examined the importance of choosing a good font and the proper lay-out of headings, subheadings and titles. Titles may be aligned with left margin or centred.
We discussed the use of videos, their advantages and limitations .
It was a very interactive class.

We discussed the ADDIE and the ASSURE Models but the main focus was on the ASSURE Model. I found this class to be very interesting and informative.
We examined the importance of being familiar with the software, etc. that we need to use with our students. We saw the importance of the teacher being ahead and on top of his/her class in the use of technology
