In our tutorials this week we were introduced into Assignment 2.. " The Researcher"after talking about the task in our tutorials we found out that we needed to get into groups for this particular assignment. I was sitting with a group of 5 girls so we all decided that we would be in a group together. The girls that are in my group are Candice, Megan,Elise, Ashlee and myself. Next we thought we should break down the assignment so we have a better understanding about what we actually have to do. After talking about the task with the other girls i think i have finally figured out what we have to do for this task as at the start i was quite confused.
The breakdown for this assignment is:
- Form a group of four or five, choose a common teaching topic area (e.g. Maths, English, Art, Science etc.
- Select one of four resource types (book or ebook, journal article, website blog or wiki, video or audio podcast) and use a library database or search engine to find a resource that relates to your chosen content area and how technology can assist or be used in the classroom.
- When we have found the resource we need to write a short summary of the resource in Word or Pages.
- A major component of this assignment is how to use a referencing technology to assist with referencing. Individually we need to research some referencing technologies, select the one we want to use and download it.
- I need to create a screencast of how to use the technology to add references using APA 6th style (Murdoch's preferenced refencing style), and then how to insert citations and references into my Word document.
- I need to upload the screencast to my website and add some information about my selected resource.
I am so happy that i have been able to breakdown the assignment because now i can finally get cracking on it as i only have 3 weeks to complete it before the peer review begins!!!
