Reflection 

What I have learnt

I am surprised at how much I have learnt over the course of doing the Digital Learning Technology paper. I have learnt it isn't always what you know. With the introduction of sites like twitter and LinkedIn it allows me to broaden my personal learning network. Incorporating interests and links to sites I have created or an online c.v gives me an advantage over those who don't have an online presence and gives me a better chance at achieving success in the industry.
I have also learnt a lot more about how i would go about teaching somebody anything, the way that people perceive information and different ways to learn. Ubiquitous learning or in a classroom. 

Things that I liked about the course

 I enjoy learning about technology that will help to improve every day life such as gmail and google docs. Because some people don't have Microsoft office and using google docs is a lot more than just getting your paperwork done.
Learning about creating a Wiki and using Wiki Educator was interesting because of how they incorporate HTML and different code into the wiki. Blogger was another interesting tool how you can write your blog post in HTML or plain text. 
I enjoyed the Interactivity of the course. I like the sessions on Adobe connect and if i was sick i could be in class from home.

Suggestions for the future

  • perhaps an adobe connect session where you have all of your students online.
  • have the students make a video introduction about themselves and link it into their blog.

Assessed Activity 8.1

  • http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/php_tutorial_for_beginners/
  • Web Monkey is a free online tutorial site where i found a tutorial for PHP. I like this site because it is for beginners like me. this is similar to the project i want to undertake so i can learn PHP at the same time as writing a basic guide.

assessed activity 6.1

E-PORTFOLIO:
An electronic portfolio (also known as an e-portfoliodigital portfolio, or online portfolio) is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files, images, multimediablog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression, and, if they are online, they can be maintained dynamically over time.

This for of information works well in a digital learning environment. Because when you are going to an interview for a job in I.T. ask yourself which cv is going to look better the one printed out on a piece of paper or, the link that you give to the employer so he can view your cv online?

assessed activity 5.1

5.1.1
Reflecting on the PLN lecture with Joyce Seitzinger I have alot of new information to take on board particularly with building my personal learning network. Filtering that information is going to be an on going proccess that I will deal with by adding to my blog, posting links to twitter and my wiki. I think I need to branch out more in terms of social networking I dont really use much technology in that way. Between my wiki and my blog, I think i have a relatively good platform to build up my portfolio and I have the skills to now link those projects, pages, images and videos together.
Balancing my PLN with study in a way is quite simple. because without even knowing it, just by being in the DLT class has broadened my PLN probably ten fold. As the semester continues to proceed im sure my PLN will expand even further.

5.1.4 
I think that a personal learning network will give me an edge because it's like i'm not alone. if i need help or guidance the information is out there. Its about my journey and sharing the information that i find along the way and make it look good and also have fun while i'm doing it.
