Day 7- Devices

Ubiquitous learning: Anytime, Anywhere, Any pace

Ubiquitous learning helps in removing barriers (time, place, pace). It allows learners to learn at their own pace, any time and anywhere.  Being myself an online learner , I have seen the advantages of  the Ubiquitous learning for myself. If I missed or couldn't understand something during the DFI sessions as it was too fast for me, I know I always have the option of rewindable learning and can go back to the learning content and learn at my own pace. Teachers who had their sites up and running last year during the lockdown was a good example of providing Ubiquitous learning for their learners.

Cybersmart

We also looked at  'Being Cybersmart'  and using the positive Cybersmart language. Cybersmart learners knows how to confidently use their device, respect others online, make use of most of the opportunities for learning. They are always at right place, at right time and doing the right thing. They know what information to keep private or public. It's really important that students understand how to be Cybersmart especially when they are blogging. As a teacher, I would be playing an important role in making my student understand it in order for my learners to be successful digital citizen.

Devices 

Today's session was about devices where we got the opportunity to explore the use of chromebooks and ipads. We did the digital dig activity on the chromebook to get an understanding of the different functions of the keys on the keyboard and compare it with the keyboard on the mac. We also looked at Explain Everything app. and screencastify. As my class is given 1:1 chromebooks for my learners, I find the drag and drop activity will be helpful for my students to familiarise themselves with the keys on the keyboard.

Today I felt very draining and found the session too fast for me. Following are my create activities that I managed to do today.
