- 10. You have already created your first blog, and are going to continue to use this Blog in your construction of Assignment Task 2. This activity asks you to reflect on your learning about blogs. In your blog, create a new posting, and examine the potential of blogs in your teaching context. Use an analytical tool/thinking routine such as a SWOT analysis or PMI to ensure that your focus is analytical rather than merely descriptive. If you are unsure about these thinking routines/scaffolds, please return to the Learning Materials to review them. Explore the technical features - how is a blog constructed and presented? Can it be customised? What types of files can be embedded and/or linked to? Can media be used in your blog? How can you connect to others using your blog - ie interaction capacity? REflect on these features. Then think about teaching and learning in your own context, and reflect on the ways blogs can be used in your own classroom. You are invited to use both the course readings, other research and sites, and your own ideas, and to be as creative as possible when considering your teaching ideas. Be sure also to consider the way your own students will be using Blogs. Learning with technology should be learner-centred, and it is anticipated that by far your students will be most busy in the online environments, with you in the role of facilitator. If you use any research or ideas from other sites, please BE SURE to reference them. Sample text to use in a wordle

- 15. “The teacher can no longer be regarded as the sole source of learning, nor can students be assumed to have the same core knowledge.............. There has been a power shift such that learners are now able to be responsible for their own learning. The role of the teacher has become one of facilitator rather than expert. And learning is able to be individualised for each student.”
- 17. How could these tools be used to improve the „how‟ ie teacher pedagogy, for a history unit? 1. The lessons 2. The assessment of student learning 3. The guide to making judgements
