This has been a difficult week. I have had way too many tasks to try and get done. I am going to blog now about our project AA3 and AA4 for class. Suzanne and I have chosen two displaying activities for our proposed VLC (NurseE-Port - Students Mentoring Students) they are Anchored Instruction with online video and Concept mapping key information. These both fit our design rationale to encourage critical thinking using the theoretical concept of constructivistism approach under cognitive theory. AA4 we have chosen online tutoring and mentoring for our doing activity under the R2D2 model by Bonk and Zhang (2008) as well as the online simulations. Both of these activities fit our theoretical and design rationale for the knowledge based virtual learnng community. Suzanne and I are enjoying putting this site together. We hope others will enjoy it too and that it might be something that can actually happen in the future!

I have thoroughly enjoyed working on this project. Working on the site itself has been exciting and I feel we will have a lot of fun finishing it up. I agree, we have had a lot to do this past week or so with our classes, but we are almost through and I really feel we have learned a lot. I wish I would have had more time to devote to this class as I did find it very interesting and informative. I love computer technology and this class has actually made me love it even more. I really want to keep working on this site even after class is over. I think it has potential.
ReplyDeleteDon't laugh. I posted a response to you on my blog. That should entertain everyone. What I asked is I wonder if Dr. Ge would mind us contacting her for advise after the semester is over? I think our site has potential and I do look forward to presenting it to UCO.
ReplyDeleteJanine,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you! This has been a difficult past two weeks for me as well (juggling 3 courses and multiple projects)! I just have to put my head down and keep pushing forward...the end is in sight! Your NurseE-Port learning community sounds well designed and thought-out and definitely supports constructivism theory. Good luck with your project; look forward to seeing it!
