New tech like Reality is an exciting prospect.
This module has given me some very useful insights into the potential and possibilities of new technology. I think this will be a valuable area for me to explore further.
This was interesting thanks
Technology is now an essential learning tool.
Good ideas in here.
Some good ideas on promoting confidence in the students'' knowledge of the subject and pride in their work.
Thought provoking
helped me to plan some new ideas for my teaching in the new year .
Geoffs example was perfect for my subject area.
Very impressed with this module! It gives a number of ideas on how we can encourage learners to take ownerships of their learning through technologies and be proud of the work they produce. Our remit as teachers is not only to make knowledge and skills stick while developing independent thinkers, it is also to help learners develop a sense of identity and self-esteem.
The activity is focused on the construction and infrastructure industries and requires from us to reflect on our curriculum/vocational area and examine where our learners could place their sense of proud for their chosen career.
The question really wasn't worded well and didn't make any sense at all. Grammatically incorrect, worded poorly, unclear.
