Model 2 Reflection

From the second model, I have learned how to encourage students to be creative and to work together in learning. After I learned many techniques that can be used within the Education system with teachers and students, I will apply most of them with my students to enhance and increase online learning and blending learning to encourage students' collaboration.

I have learned more about multimedia techniques that enhance the collaboration between students in online and blending learning such as discussion forums, blogs, Padlet, Wikis, Instagram, Pinterest, Scoop.it and online presentations.

The way of how to create discussion forums, and how to apply it at my VLE like Google classroom. Also, using Blogging as a learning technique that increases students' collaboration in learning.

Another collaborative tool that I learned from this course and I use it always is Wikipedia. I teach my students that Wikis is not a reliable source, but it helps them to begin their project. And I learned from this course how to create my own page at Wikis and use it as a learning tool with my students.

Also, learning how to get benefits from online community applications such as Instagram, Pinterest, and Scoop.it, and how to use them in learning that enhance collaboration between students. Also, how to create my own collaborative tools and embed them to my VLE.

Learning more about online presentation tools such as PowerPoint and Google slides which I use with my students because it allows all of them to share their learning in one time and their work will be saved automatically with less technical issues.

Overall, creating online learning tools and getting benefits from community tools in order to use them in online learning and blending learning will enhance and encourage students' collaboration in learning.
