E- learning Scenario 1 Activity B

Before the lesson, Mrs Xing should checked all the computers whether they are working. She could ask the lab assistant to help her, and if there was any problem to any of the computers, it could be solve faster. Since she was trying on a new learning approach, in my opinion, it would be better if the students did pair- work. By doing so, if there was any computer not working, there were other computers available for the pair. In addition, it would be easier for her to go around helping on the students' enquiries. Time would be spent in swifter way. Moreover with pair- work, qualities such as sharing and constructing ideas (collaborative learning) could be implemented. Especially during a new lesson, students would be excited and there would be many doubts. With pair- work, they could experience the new lesson with more interests.

Moving on, Mrs Xing should emphasized on discipline. Clear rules should be established. Similar to my group members, rules such as students should not switch on the computer without permission, etc should be emphasized. By doing so, indirectly, students would learn about responsibility and its consequences. Supporting Vanise idea too, Mrs Xing could appoint few IT representatives to help her distributing and assisting others. This is shown in the video given where group leaders helped the teacher in some forms of ways. Good methods of communication could result in organised learning environment.

Stated in the textbook Chapter 9 Managing ICT-mediated Learning Environment, back- up plans or activitities should always be ready and thought through. This would help encounter problems such as students talking unnecessarily after their activities were done.
