2. My name: Mohamed Suhaimy

5. What I hope to gain from the New Media Pedagogy course: Able to apply some of the new media technology application in my social and place of work

6. My notes and questions:

• Where does knowledge reside? In the head. How do people learn? Listening learners heard their mother, believed the information, and never touched a stove. Seeing learners watched their brother touch the stove, and never touched it. Experience learners touched the stove; but only once

• Cognitivism: The study of the human mind. A theory which attempts to answer how and why people learn by attributting the process to cognitive activity. This theory followed the behaviorist school of thought. The cognitives' quarrel with the behaviorists was that their focus on observable behavior did not account for what was going on in the mind.

• Constructivism: is a theory of learning and an approach to education that lays emphasis on the ways that people create meaning of the world through a series of individual constructs

• Connectivism: is a theory of learning based on the premise that knowledge exists in the world rather than in the head of an individual.

• What is the link to new media and new media strategies? Getting connected with many people around the world. Knowing who they are. Able to learn from the experts.

7. My individual presentation/assignment:

8. My reflection (use comments feature below or embed a blog here)

• Structural Knowledge - Is a basic to problem solving. Require creation of plans and strategies. Setting the conditions for difference procedures. Determines what to do when failure occur or when a piece of information is missing.

• Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) by Vygotsky - Is the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help. Use of new media able to bridge this gap i.e. such as google, social media, etc.

  • 3D Virtual World. A virtual world is an online community that takes the form of a computer-based simulated environment through which users can interact with one another and use and create objects. See others' works and make comments on it.

  • You may not learn anything from a teaching process. You will acquired the knowledge better from learning.

  • The Ms are Message (context), Medium (tools/platform), Method (strategy) and Measurement.

  • Instructional Strategies may use round robin concept, jigsaw methods, corrective competition, video and think-pair-share concept.

  • LINO IT - Is a web-based alternative to desktop sticky notes software. There are plenty of things you can do with it: store and organize sticky notes, collaborate on notes with others, set due dates and so on. Basically, it’s a sticky notes application for groups. One of the other noteworthy features is the ability to organize notes into different noteboards (canvases). For instance, you can keep work-related and personal notes in separate noteboards. Or use a new canvas to create a shared picture gallery with friends and family.
