 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."

Week 5- Presentations

 During week five of Digital Pedgagoies unit, we looked at presenting the learning content to students in a v ery effective technique for our contemporary learners.

Week 4- Digital Media

 This week in my Digital Pedagogies unit, we looked at how Digital Media can be used for learning content and tools to expand the students creativity/ knowledge and maximise engagement for further interaction towards education.  The use of digital media insists of videos, images and audio which allows the students to express their creativity into their learning through many different platforms. As a teacher in areas of Health and Physical Education and Psychology I could bring up these images (examples of both subject areas) and ask my students "what do we think is happening in this picture? Who is this picture for? What is the purpose of this picture?".  Health and Physical Education picture I would show the students:  URL:  https://safetycartoon.com/category/spot-the-hazards-cartoon/ Psychological education picture I would show the students:  URL:  https://healthandsafetyhandbook.com.au/bulletin/10-proactive-health-and-safety-hazard-identification-methods/ With me displayin
