Web 2.0 Tool Evaluation Criteria
My Video Reflection
The video was short but very fun and informative. It talks about important ideas when choosing a web 2.0 resource for classroom. Choosing a web resource is fun but challenging. There are some important steps need to be taken when choosing a web resource/tool. As far as I understand, after following these steps when evaluation the resource, at the end it increases students motivation, and enhance learning.
- Critical Thinking: Students must to be able to analyze, synthesis, and evaluate information, just accessing the information is not enough.
- Easy to use: Students need to be able to use the tool easily, with minimal help from teacher. Directions, instructions shouldn't be complex.
- Generalizable: The tool must be used with all subject levels, and easily adaptable with different ages and competency levels.
- Learner Controlled: Giving students opportunity to have the tool in hand allows them to control their own learning. Letting your students to choose the tool they like to use to achieve the goal.
- A Finished Product: A finished product is important, it represents that students are learning.
- Appropriate Content: Teachers need to make sure that content and advertisements on the tool must be appropriate for their students.
My Reading Reflection
I really enjoyed reading this Mr. Hadjerrouit's article this week. I was introduced TPACK model last semester in Intro to Ed Tech class. To be honest, thanks to this article, I feel like I finally understand the TPACK model now. I believe most of the schools are slow adapting technologies into the curriculum. As author mentioned in the article, most of the web resources are still designed, developed by software experts rather than teachers, educators, and learners. So that they mainly focus on technical details, and according to author this doesn't really measure its educational quality. Many researchers believe that the tool must also meet the learners' need. I think it is important for developers to get feedback from teachers, learners, and re-design, and re-develop tool to meet learners' need.
According to some researchers, a correct integration requires that teachers consider technology, content, and pedagogy in complex relationships. Teachers must have knowledge of the pedagogy that is applicable to the specific content, have knowledge of how technology can support pedagogical goals, and have knowledge of how the subject matter is transformed by the application of the technology. Teachers' technical knowledge is not just enough.
The framework was detailed, and very informative. I like how he categorized his framework for an effective evaluations of the WBLRs. Case studies and findings were very interesting to read.
I never thought designing and evaluating a web resource was very challenging like this.
