I took this photo during my first week of university. The semester is almost over so I feel it is time to reflect on the lectures and tutorials of EDN113.

My lectures for EDN113 were on a Wednesday between eleven and twelve. Honestly I think that it would have been easier to combine lectures to make about six 2 hour lectures. I found that the lectures didn't always catch the students attention so some students would skip the one hour lectures. If the lectures were longer, so more content was covered, I believe the attendence would improve.
We were asked to take notes of the "Learning with Multimedia Technology" lecture a few weeks ago. My usual note taking method is use paper and pen to write down the most important points of each lecture. In EDN113 my notes are not as extensive as in my other units. From this lecture I leant that technology is used as a tool to support knowledge construction by allowing students to explore, do, reflect and communicate. The aim of using multimedia within classrooms is to transform the students existing learning style. Technology within the classroom is helpful because it combines text, pictures, audio, visual, animation and interation. It is especially useful when real-life situations are either too dangerous or expensive, or even to small to see.

My tutorial for EDN113 was on Thursday morning between ten and twelve, although they usually finished at about eleven thirty. The tutorials were useful for the group assignment and ensuring that you understood all of the assignments.

The exam will be interesting. I really didn't know what to expect until we got given the list of 6 questions (from which 3 will be in the exam). I'm used to 'textbook' learning so I always used to know what was going to be covered in the exam. It's not that I don't like the authentic learning aspect of the unit, just that I am a science/maths girl where there are right and wrong answers. For the EDN113 exam though, the answers aren't black and white, instead the questions are open to interpretation.
