This is the first time for me to have an opportunity to learn using social networking. At the beginning I was stressed and worried because it was the first time for me. After a while I felt better because my instructors (Dr. Jing Lie and Leigh) and my classmates encouraged me by posting comments on my blog postings. My knowledge of social networking has changed a lot because I have learned about it through real practice and I now deeply understand what it is. "
Learning by doing" is very true in this experience.
I chose "
Wikis" as the topic for my blog. I had the opportunity to study about
Wikis in depth. I wrote 14 articles about
Wikis on my blog which were based on my real-life experiences. I used
Wikis with my students in the classroom as a tool for searching for information and seeking answers to their questions. In addition, I also conducted "
classroom action research" because I wanted to know more deeply about the advantages of
Wikis and the users' satisfaction towards them.
The result revealed that Wikis have a lot of advantages to facilitate the students to search for knowledge and the students and parents were very satisfied with the experience.
Even though I studied about
Wikis, I had additional opportunities to learn about various technological learning tools through my classmates' blog postings. It helped me learn more about the things I've never known before. Every blog posting has had great value for me to fulfill my knowledge about technological tools for education. I'm always happy to read comments from my classmates. Although we didn't know each other in person, I felt as if we had been friends for a long time. I am sad to leave everyone behind. My instructors and my classmates will always be in my heart forever. I am confident that we all will create great things for the students.
Although we have only worked with a small group of children, the knowledge we have acquired can be of great benefit to students around the world and can help to create competency around the globe in the future to come.
Thank you to Dr. Jing Lie, Leight and all my classmates for encouraging and inspiring me. I hope to see all of you again one day.
Love,
Wilairat Phermphoonboon
Hi Wilairat:
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful reflection. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and inspirations with us about the learning process, action research, and wiki advantages.In addition, I learned so much about Thailand and its culture from reading and commenting on your blog. Finally, the slideshow and side videos were a nice added touch to your blog than made me want to return again and again to your blog. I will miss reading your "Amazing Wiki" blog, but I look forward to hopefully interacting with you again in another IDE class. Take care and all the best.
