Week 2

Week 2

In this weeks workshop we looked at e-portfolios, creating a pamphlet  and also copyright issues.

We created a pamphlet using the software called publisher. I think it is a very good exercise for kids of all ages. I made a pamphlet for vacation spot like Tasmania.While I was doing this, I was surprised that I  learned a lot of things about Tasmania which I didn't know. Hence I realized how we learn through publisher.I found the coping and pasting a bit messy but I think once the students get used to it, that wont be a problem. It will also help student get a visual image of what they are learning and improve on their thinking and also their motor skills. It can help your creativity as it helps them think and create new ideas. It makes education relaxed and informal, hence students enjoy their education. The best part is that its not that complicated and even the less computer friendly person can do it.

E-Portfolio

This week we learned about the software publisher. It was only an introduction and I found it a really creative lesson. I realized this software was similar to power point which I am used to. I wanted to create a portfolio and I have been really impressed with the course as it will help me make one and also being part of the assessment. In today's workshop we made a portfolio using publisher. From feedback's from tutors and comments form peers I am confident that I will be able to make a good portfolio. I think its important for students to create one as they can appreciate their efforts and also can compare it later in their life. This will help them see how far their portfolios have improved and this will give them an inspiration to learn and better their portfolios.
