Reflective Blog #7

The learning objective that I developed pertained to students using Our Story to create a timeline using photos about some element of their lives. Once the students have added all the photos that they wanted to the timeline, they would then upload the timeline to their very own blog . Then they would need to comment specifically about some of the pictures featured in their timeline. My rationale for selecting the technologies that I did was because I felt that students need to be able to write daily. In order to accomplish this the writing has to be meaningful to them in order for them to be engaged in writing. The Blog assists with this task. Also the earlier that students become acquainted with writing the better they will be at doing it when they become our age. Furthermore, by them compiling their memories into a timeline the students can always have a record of their lives that can be shielded from lost, theft, or natural disasters.
My expectations for the learning outcome is that each student will take the knowledge from the activity and build on it. Use these sites to incorporate them into their lives daily not just to meet the course requirements.
I feel that the objective that I have created has the ability to span across all age groups and can change how some even view the use of technology.
