Experience of collaborating online and the potential of Digital Pedagogy


Experience of Collaborating Online and the Potential of
Digital Pedagogy 


In an attempt to use technology to change teaching and learning in varieties of ways, i have appreciated the fact that online resources and tools are endless on the internet. The internet is the collection of all net works around the world. .It is an essential part of learning and teaching online.It gives an opportunity to different people or organisations to share ideas or opinions online. this can be achieved through different ways like the educational online programs, video conferencing, Skype, and many others. This was my first time to work with others in a collaborative way online.

Online collaboration is an electronic way to work together in groups. It is a replacement of the traditional face to face sharing of information which is commonly used in our teaching. To day most of our learners have started collaborating online using social medias, they are not aware and exposed to the endless educational tools and resources. So i feel it is an obligation for educators to help the learners to achieve their dreams.

In this model i managed to create a comic strip with my partner collaboratively. This is under the many slangs and jargons on the internet.They do portray some messages illustratively in cartoon way. Below is the comic strip have a look at it.

   
Comic slangs are good examples of digital pedagogy. They helps to portray some messages to the learners through those attractive illustrations which are in cartoon form. They also play a big role in promoting digital pedagogy which is the attempt to use technology to change learning and teaching in a variety of ways.

4.1.4 Reflect on changing Education Landscape 

                                                                              
  
 In my opinion changing of Education landscape is the transformation of education,waving innovative practices into teaching and learning to enhance the educational system. 

This is an era of technology enhancement, were by there are varieties of tools and resources for  learners to acquire knowledge as well as communicating with other people globally. This is evident that learners prefer spending more time using technology than attending to an ordinarily lesson. They are now aware of the importance of the internet, but still luck the knowledge of acquiring the desired skills. So it is the duty for the teachers to help and guide them accordingly.

In this lesson i have appreciated the fact that technology resources are endless, There is a lot of information on the web which can help learner and the educators, We should bear in our minds that not every thing on the internet is collect, so there is a need for educators to guide learner to use the internet effectively

I have noticed the need of reforming our education system because due to the fact that, now every country on this earth is yearning for the same. There are many reasons for this, among them is the economic growth and culture diver-station. They all plan for their children to take their place in the economy of the 21st century, since that we can not anticipate how it will look like at the end of the week. More so the need to educate our children so as they have a sense of cultural (to know were they come from) and be part of the globalization. Its a small world after all.

I have learnt the different interest styles of transmitting messages, for example. by finger messaging and also doing it in an illustrative way like a wordle.

Bellow is an example of a wordle i created.

When you look at this wordle, it has some message repatriated by words .
