An idea for a wiki
At the beginning of the school year, when teachers are faced with a classroom of new students, I felt that a wiki would be a most useful way for teachers to determine their students’ personalities and learning styles. Students could undertake personality and learning style quizzes, as we did in the beginning of the Managing E-learning course, (either at home or school) and record their results on a table especially set up in a wiki. The feedback would hopefully assist the teacher when planning further learning activities for the students. Just an idea! What do you think?

Meryl, lets see if I can post this! Last time I got a message that I wasn't able to because I wasn't a member of your blog, I think that the idea you've started here is something to work on once we've graduated. I have heard of quite a few teachers who, once they are told who is going to be in there class send out letters introducing themselves to the children and ask for an introduction in return. In addition to your learning styles quiz you could add in personal questions, interests, hobbies, that kind of thing. So that on that first day of school you can have a reference to work from for conversation starters and you can have the best strategies possible for settling your class in. Gee that was a lot!
ReplyDeleteHi Zelina,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reposting your comment. All seems well now thanks to you!:-)
I really like your add-ons. I believe any help the teacher can get in know her students gives teachers a head start both in planning and communicating with students, especially at the beginning of a school year. I believe the students would also be happy knowing that their teacher was interested in them personally, their learning styles, interests etc.
Cheers
