This unit has been a fascinating journey in discovery of digital technologies applicable in the classroom, and also the pedagogical practices that lay the foundation for effective content integration with technology. The integration of these technologies in our learning mirrors the processes that we will go through as teachers in the future with our own students.
The peer marking of our blogs was a valuable lesson in professional reflection, something that as teachers we will all need to develop. The advice from my peers was taken on board by myself, as I could see the errors and weaknesses within my blog that they highlighted. Issues such as poorly constructed sentences were corrected, as were some spelling errors, and extra depth was added to a couple of posts in order to meet the assessment requirements.
Here is a final link to the Reflective Teachers Blog which very poignantly states that reflection that is something to be learned not taught, both as teachers and as students.
