With MediaFire (a free file and image hosting web site) you can make unlimited downloads,uploads and receive unlimited storage.
MediaFire is of benefit in a learning context as it enables teachers to direct students to a specific location in order to upload learning materials to assist them. They can access this from the classroom or from elsewhere is that students are able to access relevant learning materials.
The following link will direct you to the files that I have made publicly accessible through mediafire. It includes a Robotics Concept Cartoon Poster I created to initiate class discussion "what are robots are used for?" and it includes the lesson plan I developed to introduce NXT robotics to Yr 4-7 students. Please feel free to download and use these resources if they are any help to you.
Connectivism' applies principles that acknowledge "real-life learning is messy and complex” (Siemens , 2004, p.2). According to Connectivism, the ability to store, filter and gather information is of paramount importance (Siemens , 2004). This tool provides a solid support for students in giving them away to store their data in a manner that is easy to access and use, that can be shared amongst peers and others.

Well Done Sharon, a great use of a very handy resource.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs B,
ReplyDeleteNow I just have to acquire the necessary organisational skills to use it lol! Seriously though, that doesn't come naturally to most of us and it is something that we need to explicitly teach to our students I believe.
Cheers,
Sharon
