 Reflection Task 1- Webspace Due Date 29th of March 2023 In my reflection, I have formatted it as a classroom discussion to show how the teacher can explain a Webspace to their class. Enjoy my skit at the start of this blog! Introduction to Webspaces "Webspace?"shouted Jimmy   "What's that?" excitedly said Hayley "Now, Now everyone sitting back into their seats" insisted Miss Woodward "A Webspace is an environment in which we as class 7W can communicate on our own classroom devices (iPad or computers) and add ideas from our learning onto our very own website. There are many different Web Spaces we could create our own on like Weebly, Wix, Squarespace, Edublogs, Notion, Classdojo, Google Sites and Blogger." These might be some interactions that might occur when you first dicuss to your class about adding in webspace.  The Webspaces I wish to discuss today to expand your learning and communication with your students are Blogger and ClassDojo.

  Documentation tool   Who is the contemporary learner? How will the characteristics of our Gen Z learners depicted in the Meet GenZ video define their engagement in the traditional classroom snippet? The Gen Z clearly showed my interest within the video which is described as BORED OUT OF THEIR BRAINS!  The Gen Z learning experiences were so monotoned, dull, chalkboard diagram, you get the idea. Comparing their learning strategies to now how the Gen Y students laughing. Gen Y has grown up with technologies so they are used to seeing a classroom with iPads, laptops, smart boards (touch screen whiteboard) for them to watch videos, draw pictures etc. The Gen Z generations learning experiences were so boring that is probably the reason why hardly any of them studied further on a university compared to today. Their learning outlook would look different to the experiences today. Gen Z would hardly remember any information the teacher was talking about as they all look zone...

  A challenge to your beliefs   You as a contemporary teacher? To what extent is it reasonable to conclude that if you are not experiencing positive or negative emotions about the materials and activities in any learning experience, that you are potentially disinterested or not motivated? DIscuss in relation to your first emotional response to the nature of this unit. For me as a preservice teacher who has subjects in Health and Physical Education and Psychology, I have learnt through past units that it's all about your mindset. Whether it be towards learning, sports or other outdoor activities even relationships with other humans, your mindset determines how majority of your day works out. As a student at university, if I have a negative mindset before I start studying my outcome is I won't end up studying for long. However if I plan my day out in a positive mindset way I am more engaged to smash out assessment work or content materials.  I believe this stands for s...
