The relevance of investigating learning theories in the scope of this course


               Differentiating the learning theories is relevant for a teacher to be more effective in the teaching process. To apply the learning theories the teacher must recognise how those theories are going to help his/ her lesson. For example the good understanding of Behaviourism theory helps to know the behaviours of the student and lead to manage the classroom by understanding the bad and good behaviour of students also using some reinforcements to shape to the desired behaviour.
          In this course we looked at behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism, connectivism and Distributed Cognition theories. Investigating and knowing the concepts of those theories is relevant to know how the theories are related and linked each other, also to differentiation among the latest and the oldest one as a teacher.


videos for learnning .




Learning using multimedia is more effective than talk and chalk method. The learner can understand more about the learning context when he watch and heard. Visual learning is the better way to recall any information or anything.
   In our situation for learning theories the videos are explained using an example which helps to identify the concepts and the useful experiments among the theories.

the first section....of the course



        According to my view I had enjoyed a lot from the first section. For me the chat section and the presentation was so use full and I benefit a lot from that.which are the best sections. Because it encourage us to read and goggle some new knowledge.when I prepare for presentation I goggle some web tools and get some thing new that I did not know before. also for the sake of the chat section I read the articles of social presence which implies that I read because I have to chat about  it unless I may not be aware of it.
              I have got bit difficult on the blogs the classmates not following each other and I was lost from the discussion room I was only posting on my blog web but finally I make it.
 Thanks

plagiarism and safe assign

 when I use a safe assign tools I was thinking about how plagiarism affects study. Accepting and knowing the Plagiarism policy can lead  students to develop and create their own work.in the other hand the learners will learn how to develop their own skill and knowledge than depending only on the other sources  even they can realise that how  using plagiarising  dominates and hide own thinking level also it exposed to lack of confidence.
 I was enjoying the safe assign tool and I found it as use full for both teachers and learners. for learners to see how their work is affected with the references that they use. and for teachers also helps to mark the students according to the percent of the work,which is their own idea for the task, and which is not.

my Job and My study ... apart.


        This is already the half way of our course on line for me to work and to study at the same time is not easy, it needs a very serious time management...to cope both.
   In my situation my job is not realted to my study at this moment , I am  not teaching...or not in any office, But doing business with my husband. The two things ( my Job and study) are apart each other.any ways I am  hoping that everything will end as I wish.
