1. Communities Reflection
Communities:
I think a community is a group of people, which are connected.
I identify with a variety of communities such as interest.I enjoy belonging
to my interest community the most because I can do what I like and have
fun.I think communities are important for people because if we don’t have
communities, people can make wars and hate others. Also, they can’t do
group works together.
My Virtual Community:
I was a member of a Flat Classroom Community called clothing.
While working with my community in Edmodo, I learned that clothing is
important for people and clothes have many kinds.
I discovered that my team members and I had commonalities such as like to
play mine-craft and we are all good at technology.
I also discovered that we had differences such as we all have different
cultures.I enjoyed being a member of this community because we have many
similarities.It was challenging to talk about clothes because we don’t have
enough ideas to talk about clothing.
Media Collection:
I collected media to teach my community about clothing.I collected photos
and videos such as my Korean traditional clothes and summer and winter
clothes.The most important photo I shared was a winter clothes. It was
important because it showed what do we need to wear in winter and how
Beijing is cold in winter.
Voice Thread Presentation:
I explained my media in a Voice Thread presentation.
I enjoyed working with Voice Thread because I can give much information to
my group.It was challenging to explain about my hairband because my mom
made it.I think I explained my Korean traditional clothes the best because
I told my group all about how to made it.Next time if I use Voice Thread,
I will try to improve talking more loudly and slowly.
What else?
During this unit I especially enjoyed Voice Thread.After this unit, I will
continue to talk about my Edmodo group and use Voice Thread to connect
with them.
