Wiki

Over 'research week' we were put into groups and given a task to make a wiki page on Education-10 years ago. Jess, Rhiannon and myself worked well as a team and looked at information on different aspects of technology, classroom layouts and subjects taught. It was an interesting topic to research because it shows the difference between what education and learning environments were like ten years ago and how it has changed and shaped over the last decade to what it has become today.

Wiki was a useful website and easy to use. We could all edit and crop information and comment on eachothers progress, whilst still making it look presentable, eye-catching and vibrant.

Evaluation of Magicseaweed.com

Magicseaweed.com

For part of our 'Developing Skills in I.T and Communication' we had to devise a mini presentation about a chosen website which we had great interest in. My group and I took great pleasure in talking about a surfing website called Magicseaweed.com. I personally found this interesting and really liked working together to present to the class a masterpeice!

We selected the site for the task as we thought that there would be more interest within the group and it would be  easier to put accross to others. Regular use of the site allowed us to select the site as a reputable source of information.

The website can also be linked to photography as there are some breathtaking pictures gthat have been taken from all over the world. Viewers have the choice to rate and comment on these pictures.

It is used by a large amout of people and is very popular around the world, we therefore know it is a reliable source. It is an informative website because it updates weather reports from all over the world and also offers online shopping for surfers.

The website was vibrant, bright and lively. The colours were eye-catching and we think that the website would attract anyone and not just those interested in surfing.

We do not feel as though the site needs a great deal of imrpovement because it already offers a wide range of accurate information and would be complicated more if there were too many links and if it was too descriptive.

About me (:

Hey everyone :)

My name's Nicole and I was born on October 13th 1992. I studied at Chepstow Comprehensive School and for A levels I studied English Literature, Psychology and Media Studies. English was my favourite/best subject because I have a love for creative writing and looking deeper into literature texts. I really enjoyed my time at school..sad I know..but I would go to sleep on a Sunday night buzzing for school the next day..don't laugh.

I have one sister who I adore more than anything in the world, she is so funny and is one of my best friends. When I got my confirmation to Swansea Met I was so chuffed :) went out in Cardiff that night and then ended up having to leave Revs cause my head felt like it was about to explode..weird feeling.

When I leave uni I would love to go into primary teaching. It is something which I have always wanted to do and I am glad to be studying Educational Studies at Swansea Met. At first I did want to study Journalism..maybe because it seemed glamarous..however when I went to work experience at 'The Argus' I was put off for life..not my cup of tea. I had to go round court rooms and take notes about people who had commited offences. Then for another week I went to a creche and thats when I knew that I definatly wanted to teach. I love children and really enjoyed my time working at my local primary school once a week..year 2's are lovely..although they tend to get quite chopsy at that age too..stabbing me with pencils!!!

I love socialising and meeting new people, I have always thought that was one of my strong points. I genuinlly love life to be honest and am usually happy :)

Thanks for reading dudes!

P.s. I LOVE tea
