Overall Learning

Creating a blog has been extremely advantageous. It allows me to reiterate what I learn about each week. I think this is very important for me in order to store information in my long term memory. It was a enjoyable idea to write about each activity in an informal manner such as a blog.

Prior to creating my account on blogger  I did not think that I would like writing a blog each week however I found it was the most enjoyable task in social media to write about everything I had learnt and share  photos. I was including people in my learning experience.

I learnt about screencasting, prezis, mitt app inventors, flickr, diigo, youtube, bookmarking, crowdsourcing, mash ups and pinterest.

I am certainly going to make use out of social media applications such as flickr and pinterest.I will be using Diigo for bookmarking for college sources. My favourite e lab was making the magic 8 ball, it was such a new experience for me to learn about coding and I got the hang of it quickly.

Our app is progressing nicely. We had to speak about the idea for our app in front of the lecture in week 9. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with my group so far.

Individual reflection:
We each contributed equally to the app. Our idea was aimed at people and students on a budget who wanted to be active. Everyone in the group felt it was an issue that we wanted to do activities outdoors however we never had people to do them with us. Our app allows people with the same interests to meet up and do activities in public parks. The idea for our app was brilliant, I feel students would get the most use out of the app. Our groups method of communication was on whatsapp and facebook. We found the wikis to hard to discuss things on. Our app is a success because we all pooled are resources and skills together effectively in order to get the finished product that we aimed for.
