Adding resources to the group Wiki...

I have added a PDF document to the students resource page of our group Wiki. The PDF is a Lab Report document that students can use as a template when completing their own Lab Reports. I have also added a screencast video, (that explains the structure of the Lab Report), as well as some links to a safety video and a another fantastic video that demonstrates how chemical reactions are happening around us all the time.

It was only after I had finished adding the above resources that I realised how far my knowledge, understanding and use of various technology tools has grown. I can confidently create and publish screencasting videos, add hyperlinks, create Websites and Wikis and much more.

After researching iMovie, (as mentioned in my last blog), I am feeling confident at being able to demonstrate to my group members how to use the application. I found that the iMovie tutorial explained the application in simple terms and I can see how it can be a valuable resource to implement within a learning environment. Students can be as creative as they like and produce fantastic short movies to demonstrate their understanding of certain learning areas. For example, students can be asked by their teacher to make a short movie that has to include certain elements and follow the structure of a narrative, (containing an orientation, complication and a resolution). For students with low literacy skills the use of iMovie allows them to demonstrate their creative skills without the pressure of producing written text.

Went onto LMS Task 3 discussion forum to see what time tonight's live lecture is and found a few posts with the same query, however, there is no confirmation of the time as of yet. I will check again on the discussion forum later today.
