Reflection 3.3 Websites
Write a blog reflection, identifying the functionality of your website. Then think of your pedagogy, and content. How could your website be useful for teaching in your own teaching context? Use the SAMR model (as usual, and for the balance of your explorations of technologies) to propose the use of websites in your own classrooms at each level of the model. As mentioned in the previous site, my experience with set website form is with weebly, which is extra fabulous in that it is a blog also. The fixed website would be a great tool for the information that needs to be "concrete". This would apply from the perspective of teacher or student user. According to QCAA: "What is Social and Community Studies all about? What are your personality traits, your strengths and weaknesses? What are the influences on your personal identity? What skills do you need to function efficiently, effectively and positively in your current and future life roles as a family member, student, worker and citizen? Social and Community Studies allows you to respond to these questions through developing important ‘life skills’ — the personal, interpersonal, and citizenship skills that are at the core of the subject. It will help you to develop responsible attitudes and behaviours, establish positive relationships and networks, and encourage you to be an active and informed citizen who can participate effectively in the community. " Websites are the perfect forum for a student to display, develop and analyse such a subject goal. The previous two subject content examples would work fabulously in the web format, either the final presentation of inquiry or the 'story line' of the line of social or community studies that have taken place.

Maya Angelou // "Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can be kind...and fair and generous...occasionally. But to be that thing time after time, you have to really have courage."

Then without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day."
