Module 8 Activity 6 - One-to-One Learning




Learning and teaching in a one-to-one learning environment is much different from what students knew.  Students get more personal attention with one-to-one learning while teaching offers a unique opportunity for teacher-student interaction since students can ask questions and stimulate discussion of interest.  Learning is ubiquitous and this facilitates learning beyond the classroom.  As a result students have expressed that there is definitely more interaction with one-to-one learning because it is only them and the teacher. Lessons are more hands-on and there is more flexibility in timing and the structure of the lessons.  One-to-one learning offers the teacher a greater opportunity to engage in real interaction and to learn while not having the worries of large groups with mixed ability.  The teacher has a great responsibility of finding new approaches and also to ensure the lessons are engaging so the students benefit from the process.  One-to-One classes are not easy and they deserve more attention but they can be very effective if proper planning is implemented.

CONS: If there are no established policies that govern the use of ICT in the classroom, then “a piece meal” approach could result in confusion and even frustration among the staff and the students.

Module 2A-4: activity 11 - Creating a Personal Learning Network

Creating a PLN has been a very engaging exercise for me. Knowing that I can communicate and collaborate with like minds across the world while integrating ICT in our teaching/learning environment makes me excited. I have created my PLN by using Classroom2.0 and have linked my Twitter, Facebook, Blog site and website in one location.   I started a discussion and have been very pleased with the interaction that it created and the lessons that I learned have been great.  I have invited friends to follow me on this exciting journey so that we can learn together.  I have also followed friends and persons whose links have interested me.  I encourage you to visit me at                                www.classroom20.com/profile/StarrieGreene   PLN's are great for sharing, learning and growing.
