Here is the outcome of my circuit project. I made a street light using the toolkit that I got from the studio. This is my first time making a circuit project and it was a very fun try-out. I appreciate Qing's instructions on how to establish a circuit step by step. I observed her while she made hers, and then I followed her to make my project. It is a great learning experience with peers.
I took the first step to mapping out the circuit by drawing on paper. Then, I put the metal sticky paper along the line and connect it to the bulb and the battery. For the best effect, I tried a lot to adjust the location of the battery.
Two takeaways
“Schools can have access to everything in terms of money and technology, but they must have teachers who show how to use them correctly,”
I do agree that the quality of teaching is the key to a good learning effect. Teachers play an important role in integrating technologies in the classes. Technologies themselves can not fulfill certain learning objectives. Only after the careful course design, the adoption of technologies can best support the objectives and achieve better outcomes,
“The greatest impact probably came as an assessment and communication tool–students were able to document and assess their growth as an artist as well as communicate with others about art. It leveled the playing field for students because each student had a voice and the time and safe place they needed to use that voice.”
It is true that the electronics have affordances for communication and assessment tools. The horizon of students is expanded a lot with electronics and people are connected together. That is why connectivism came out. Connectivists stressed the importance of establishing connections with the outside world. In this way, students can reach out to abundant resources. With the help of electronics, students do not need the super brain to memorize knowledge but need to know how to access the knowledge.
