Activity 10 &11: Producing Resources

It's accepted that digital resources can significantly improve learning in the classroom. This activity, in conjunction with a similar activity in a earlier module has taught me how to create my own or modify existing digital resources. This reduces the heavy reliance on text books. With these resources students can be provided new and exciting experiences that can deepen their understanding and enhance academic performance.

Activity two of the learning resource was well received but not without its challenges. The students were using blade to dissect flowers and required strict that proved challenging. The joy was obvious as they dissected the flower and proudly displayed the various parts.

Children on a whole love the outdoors immensely and activity four of the learning resource provided them with an opportunity to be outside. While the on the outside they investigated flowers that were visited by insects and those which are not. They thoroughly enjoyed being investigators making observations, taking notes and discussing their observations. The students were very eager to share their knowledge of local plants as well.
