On Thursday, I have missed my class but I have discussed the
presentation about MAPLE with my husband. We discussed about the how we can
join the MAPLE because in presentation they mention about if you don’t mention pre-service teacher than they send email about your school Email ID. But I have
one question in my mind that how could the parents join the Maple who wish to
join that?
In Maple, the educators share the idea about the subject and
if teacher has any questions about their subject then they get knowledge from
the maple via blog, Wikis and events. They also provide the personal space for teachers’
material. I have missed those things but I got basic idea about that and even
in last semester in ICT class I got some knowledge about that.
HI Khyati,
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question - MAPLE is only for Manitoba teachers, so parents can't join it.
Hi Khyati,
ReplyDeleteIt's unfortunate that you missed John Evans' presentation on Thursday. I really appreciate all the guest speakers we had in this course. Not that Mike isn't interesting, but they provide great information as experts in their area.
It's very important to teach our students how to act online. I am amazed at some of the comments I read from adults on social media. It's very important to teach students how to respectfully disagree with somebody.
Great blog post!
