November 20, 2008 Class Meeting

During the meeting on November 20, 2008, Kim shared with us some of the materials she had presented to the students in Taiwan. Afterward, we listen to Walter’s presentation on Comic, which he said that it can be an excellent educational material to get the kids to read. He quoted, comics is about “showing the obvious to the ignorant.” He showed us a program, called Pixton, that allows an individual to create his own animations.

At the end of the class, we revisited the Web 2.0 Diagram that we drew as a group. We added a sketch on the characteristics of a Web 2.0 learning environment versus a traditional classroom environment. The thing that interests me the most is how the future generation will use Web 2.0. By then, the technologies will be more powerful in its delivery of the educational contents. Thus, anyone who wants to learn about a subject will be able to receive the materials in a format of their choice.
