Ok, quick blog about the first Activity we were to complete - a posting in the 'The Profile' wiki. This was a Week 0 activity. A little nerve racking to open up Moodle ready to get started in Week 1, only to find I'm already behind! The activity was a quick one - provide some information about yourself for other students to read. I do wonder how many students will be trolling though the profiles reading them...
Reflections:
My learning: It was interesting to sit and fill in the template provided for my profile. I appreciated having the template, as otherwise I would have been at a loss for what to write. It was difficult to answer some of the fields though without giving it some thought.
Potential for my learners: "Tell me about yourself" activities could be difficult for some learners. Offering a template which prompts thinking may help.
Constructivism: Scaffolding by providing template
Cognitivism: 'Chunking' information about students in profiles.
Behaviourism: Offers opportunity for students to starting posting to a wiki with a relatively simple exercise, receive feedback (i.e. the profile is posted), behaviour is reinforced
Connectivism: Establishing contacts for future learning networks between students
