Living Healthy in Wadadli

 

HOW WIKIS COULD IMPROVE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION 

A wiki is used to give information. Students will go unto the page and read what is there and also go onto the hyperlink pages which are also informative. Students could be given a lesson where they would have to view the wiki and get ideas on how to shop for healthy foods and how to pack healthy snacks. They would have to make up recipes of healthy foods and snacks. This could also be given as a project.

 REFLECTION  

A wiki on healthy living was produced.

Wiki is relatively new to me therefore there were some challenges met. I could not get the video onto my wiki page and I became frustrated. I then went by a friend who showed me where I was going wrong and exactly what to do. The next challenge was posting the wiki to my blog. After trying forever, I then had to resort to calling my instructor who helped me to get it done. I think the only thing I would have done to improve my wiki is to make the pages a bit more colourful. This would attract the students’ attention even better

HOW VIDEO COULD IMPROVE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION

I find that the movie maker videos are quite unique. It gives you an opportunity to give information through caption and allow the student to use their imagination. My video was done in a way to get the student thinking about their health. It shows where you begin and where you could end up depending on the choices you make.

This video is appropriate for a lesson on nutrition and diet with my second for student to which I know they will find quite interesting. It will also provoke their mind into choosing healthier food and exercise over junk if they do not want to become overweight.

 

 

            REFLECTION

A video on healthy living was produced.

This piece could be used as an activity for students to note a few challenges that are faced when we make the wrong food choice and also some things we can implement to improve our health.

Due to the fact that it was my first time ever producing a video of this sort, there were indeed many challenges. It was a bit difficult to come up with the most appropriate credits to my movie. It sounds easy but lots of thought had to go into it. When it comes time to upload my video to the blog it just would not upload, that just make me frustrated. I ended up call the tutor and for some reason together we could not rectify the problem.

I could improve this video by showing real life effect meaning that I would have shown real people who I am familiar with who was obese and has lost weight through diet and exercise, but time did not permit. Also more captions could have been placed to get the students thinking even more.

Purpose found

With technology becoming more available it only makes sense that we  incorporate it into our teaching strategies as well. The syllabus being so broad  and the time being so short  makes it almost impossible to cover everything in detail. Your idea for your blog is an excellent one to continue the discovery and learning long after 1:30. I hope you really implement it .
