Communication Tools Reflection
Well, I’ve completed the communication tools assignment. I chose a discussion forum and a chat space within the Moodle course shell for my Social Studies 11 living standards project. I chose to stay within the Moodle framework becasue I’m not that terribly knowledgeable in communication tools. I’ve never used Skype, don’t use MSN or any other similar animal, and I don’t use chat rooms. I’m honestly way too busy in life to take the time to use these tools. That being said, I definitely can see their appeal. I actually found myself looking forward to getting the opportunity to try these out with an actaul class of Social Studies students.
Now that I’ve spent a bit of time working within Moodle I’m getting eager to try it out next year. Our district is introducing Moodle in September so I hope to be using much of what I’ve learned here next school year. I’ve chosen to focus on a human geographyunitb in this course for two reasons. First, it’s one of the more interesting units, and secondly, it’s what I always start the course with so I’m hoping to migrate over some of what I develop during this course over to a district Moodle shell for use in September.
Cheers,
Ken
