Matthew's+Blog+response

==== As Matthew talk about making the creative digital video artefacts I can very well now relate to the level of engagement shown my the students in making such creative tools. I had my first chance to actually work on such project in Methods subject and it was a grant experience. I had never thought that I would be able to create an iMovie clip ( though it was group work). ==== ==== As discussed in the class today I totally agree with the point that Ariane raised that such tasks loose their charm and purpose once they have awards and rewards attached to them. I can feel the same in DLDG whereas in Methods I actually enjoyed working on the project as it was not being assessed and there was no pressure to meet the bare minimum. ==== ==== And also somewhere along the making of the clipping I could feel that I was not looking in that much of the science as much as into making it an excellent video which further reinforced the concept of meaningful learning with technology where stress is more on technology helping to make the learning meaningful and not just learning to use the technology. All these concepts hav sunk in just by doing one practice task. ====
