Well, as we start to move into the next 3 weeks' class activities, I will first like to orientate you to the essential tools that we will be using to collaborate and communicate with one another in this class.
As I had introduced earlier, this is our official Class Blog, and I will be using this platform to disseminate all essential information with regard to what we need to do for the next 3 weeks of mobile learning.
If you notice the side navigation bar on the right, there are a few widgets that I want you to familiarize yourselves with. Firstly, there is a link to PBworks, which will be the official collaborative workspace that you guys will frequently visit and jointly work on as part of the class activities next week. First thing first, go to the link, set up an account and be familiar with the layout and features of the site.
Next, you will see the Twitter Feed for our class hashtag #mlearning6414. We will use Twitter as the primary tool to engage, interact and communicate with each other. Share links to relevant resources, tweet about related events, or call out to any classmates via this platform! If you do not already have an account, go to Twitter and set up one now!
Finally, as you scroll down further on this page, you can see the links to the Blogs of each and everyone of you in the class. You may choose any blogging application of your choice (Blogger, Wordpress, etc), and once you had set up one, let me or our TA know the blog address so that we can add you to the list. Just to reiterate, your personal blogs are meant for you to reflect on each week's activities and experience, so feel free to explore each other's blogposts and leave a comment!
That is all for now! Stay tuned on Sunday to find out what we will be going to do for this class for next week!
