Activity 7 Reflection



 
                              
The value of resources accessible by you


Activity 7, “the value of resources accessible to you,” closely resembles an earlier activity that required of us to make an inventory of the resources available at our school and to examine ways in which these resources could have been used. I nevertheless found this activity quite informative and rewarding.

I especially liked working in paint as it appeals to the creative side of me. Just a few days prior to the commencement of this activity, I discovered that paint can be used as an editing tool. This would come in quite handy in the preparation of diagrams for quizzes or tests. I did some further investigation on the use of paint and discovered that some of the tools can be customized by selecting the tool (brushes, pencils, line), holding down the control key and depressing the plus sign (+) on the numeric pad.

In summary, digital resources have the potential to add new dimensions to the pedagogical practices within our classrooms. But to be able to realize the full potential of these resources, teachers must be conversant with the technology.
