Day 2 of the E-pedagogy Course

We started with a summary of the reflections of yesterday of 5 students. Later on we spoke about the usefulness of reflections. What I learned that it would be very useful to reflect also as a teacher. So wenn I have suggestions to do things better, I can give these in my own blog.
A reflection is very good because you take some distance (a helicopterview)and look at what you went right and what went wrong and why. You can mkae new aims on what went wrong to do better a following time.
I learned that for students the reflection is very important because the digital position is (or could be) a very lonely one, so it is very important to give feedback in the right time and on the right way. Also a summary could be very useful for students to recognise themselves or to relevate their feelings about some aspects.
Anne Karin presented about the VIRCLASS project and courses - it looks very good and I am impressed by the work what is done.
Then we had a group session in 3 with boxes with some notes. We had a paper with some text about a realistic situation. Several questions: what is the situation about? it is written, but can jyou ' see' what happens? what questions have you? can it be used like this in Virclass?
What I learned was to look on different ways to the case: from the clients perspective, but also the social workers perspective, from an ethical perspective, a research perspective etc.
So, not too fast, but looking at a problem in different perspectives. Of course I know, but it is good to experience this from the perspective of a student. How can I motivate and help students as a teacher in future to have this broad mind of view?!
In the afternoon we had again some excercises in the learning environment and also we worked as teachers on our course. To add your students is not the most difficult thing to do, but to ad a picture etc. asks already some more excercise. But, I try to understand as good as possible the steps to take and hope to be able to excercise the coming days. it as good to see that the tempo was less high than yesterday, so it was easier to follow and to try the different possibilities.
