Well I can't say that I have ever wanted to set up a Twitter account but I did like how I could see everyone's tweets and what their thoughts were. In saying this, I can see that our cohort all have a very similar understanding about how children learn technology.
I personally made the comment, "Children need to experience hands-on situations to learn. Investigation through play is how children learn about technology." I came to this conclusion by doing the readings and watching the various youtube videos that were recommended (my favourite being Kids react to Rotary phones- I emailed it my other friends at different University's). Seeing everyone's similar comments had me reassured that I was on the same page.
I enjoyed using Twitter for this part of the course and can see how it can be a valuable tool when working with cohorts. I wouldn't particularly use it to teach in a classroom but for this process I found it valuable.
I prefer to use the mind-mapping because it is neat and allows me to jot all my notes down that I have running through my head. I love how organised they make me feel.
I love being able to access cohorts work because I find it keeps me on track as well. I can see that I am putting a big effort into this subject and I am really starting to enjoy it, as I can see others are too. There are many learning benefits in this course, collaboration with others being a big part of it. I found it tricky at first but I really love working with my group. We all really want to help each other succeed and get through it together.
