Fifth day's insights

Today, i learned a lot!

The concepts taught today are literally voluminous that i find it so hard to zip and or to compress into one hemisphere of my little brain...

Information overload this is.

May 4- 8, 2008

This week has been a trying week to say the least. I had to focus although my mind was left back at home with my 2 beautiful angels.

It was last Monday when I started to identify the subject of my imminent study. I had done several attempts but I failed to formulate a good one brought about by my insufficient knowledge on problem formulation.

trying to go beyond my limit... (a reflection)

Just as i consider the 4 C's in my successful research prob formulation, i'll take these in fulfilling my dreams as well.

The first C stands for contstraints.
The second C is conclusions.
The third one is Courses of action.
The last C is for Consequences.


Do you ever realize that when you start to think of achieving something - you find it everywhere? It's like your mind is on high alert and you can sense or feel that 'thing' you so covet. I remembered when I so wish to have my first Maldita dress. I was like wearing an eyeglasses with the image of the dress on it that everywhere I turn, I see everyone wearing it.

I am not a real feely-philosophical-young-aged type of person, however I do see that sometimes the chance or opportunity is either with you or against you.

Recently, I have felt that the chance is with me. I received a lot of blessings and I gained support from my superior (Mam Joy) in the profession. Not to mention the mails I received from my superiors in the ICT community of our division this morning which let me feel important. It lets me feel tall though I'm not.

I have been thinking of the things I am thankful for and noticing that everyone's doing the same. I must be in good company here.

Fourth Day's Input

Topic: Problem or Project-Based Learning

What i got from Dr. Dioquino's talk yesterday was what she kept stressing. That's letting students discover new ideas by themselves!

In other words, use the time-tested EXPLORATORY strategy, which i categorized as one of the Montessorial Approaches in the Teaching-Learning process.


That's the meat of the matter!
All the rest of the issues she emphasized are no biggie.

 

Third Day's Struggle to Academically Advance

Time: 7:50pm
Venue: Training Room

Reflection:

I was moved by the adage that Fr. Legaspi shared and I quote, " A turtle makes progress when it sticks its neck out."

When i heard the line, a great challenge flashed in my mind. I should now divert my attention unto a broader horizon - a makeshift of brand new ideas of this noble profession. I just realized the importance of teaching the cyber generation of learners to be good netizens...

Second Day's Portfolio

Topic : Digital Storytelling
Thrust : To immerse learners into the dynamics of digital communication and self-expression.
Task : Photo Story Development

My experience yesterday was absolutely an exeption of IT literacy! I went beyond the basics.
Yesterday's topic opened my novice mind to a new perspective of introducing an innovative instruction to learners.

I learned two equally important softwares that would help me deliver my lessons effectively. My encounter with MS Photo Story 3 brought me a big awe! I learned to use Movie Maker and other free online softwares in creating slideshows yet the mentioned software is far better than anything else in terms of transitions and effects. Now, Im recommending it to my online friends.

By the same token, Marvin software is also an excellent pedagogical tool in motivating students to learn. With it, i learn to be more innovative and more creative.

By and large, I find Module 2 interesting!
