I think that this would lead to more flexibility and it would encourage-motivate all students.]]> 2018-02-24 09:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fotinisid/DigitalClass/wish/234961386 fotinisid https://padlet.com/fotinisid/DigitalClass/wish/234962047 They have no time or place constraints, since students can have access anytime, anywhere.

I think it can prove really useful, especially since you can see how balanced your lesson is. However I think it is time consuming (definately not for everyday basis) and it can be quite resticting. I did not know the existance  of many of the search engines we were exposed to and I cannnot wait to use them not only for my students but also for me. I am more eager to start using Internet Archive, Pinterest, Quora and dogpile.]]> 2018-03-03 11:02:42 UTC https://padlet.com/fotinisid/DigitalClass/wish/237673985 fotinisid https://padlet.com/fotinisid/DigitalClass/wish/240421497 Today we learnt how to use wix (andweebly) in order to create a website. It was the first time I started creating one, so I was very excited. I think it needs some experimentation and you need to have a clear picture of what you want to include, but once you get the main idea building a website can prove relatively easy and really effective.
Why is it important to build a website?

It is a compilation of academic work used for evaluation, self-reflection, the creation of a lasting archive of academic work products etc. Students get to choose what to include. They are involved, they take ownership and responsibility over the learning process.

Holistic = ICT. eg. assessing listening through a video. More motivating, less stressful for students. A good test should be valid, reliable, etical and fair.Formative (focuses on future achievement) vs summative (focuses on what has been learnt in the past). Self-assessment, peer assessment, teacher assessment. Rubric is a scoring guide used to evaluate the quality of students' constructed responses
