As we close another week and another unit, I look back at the weeks past.
Four weeks have gone by and a lot has been covered as we close on this Sunday.
I must mention, two of the most different and some difficult things I had to learn was the HTML codes in unit 3&4.
Now, I must go back and review the readings to understand better all the HTML codes, my quiz scores where the proof of my lack of knowledge in the field of HTML. This is something I definitely have to read more about and understand the codes etc...
The different experience was Facilitating Online, not my own facilitation but my peers. It was a great experience!
I learned a lot, and took in a lot of the information that was put out there for us to use by the facilitator and other peers as well.
This weeks facilitator, I was able to experience it live. Unlike the first Wimba that was held which I reviewed by archive. I found that very boring, future reference, live Wimba is more interactive and keeps my attention front and center!
Furthermore, I liked the feedback and guidance of a live wimba, it was easier to give input and feedback, back and fourth threw live wimba, obviously. I tend to attend more live sections!
Most of all, I learned threw this initial few units what it would be like to facilitate online from my peers. Also explored outcomes of students and the reaction with student/facilitator interaction. I think by actually facilitating ourselves and sharing this with our peers breaks the ice. I am looking forward to facilitating online with my peers to not only get a reaction from them but for myself, to see how I feel as a facilitator! I cant wait and I hope my experience will be a good one in the hopes for future encouragement as I soon will teach one day!
