Profile Wiki
Navigating my path to the actual activity was a bit of a challenge as I have trust issues with ICT tools I have never used before. Call me a "Digital Immigrant". Once I surrendered myself to the Wiki and opened my mind I found it incredibly useful in terms of discovering my weaknesses and strengths, knowing the same of others and finding compatible learners to make conatact with, therefore this activity had visible elements of constructivism, cognitivism and connectivism.
This could be a useful strategy to support learning of students. Answering profile questions that are accessible by other students allows each child to have a better understanding of their own learnings and personal characteristics as well as others. This enables connections to be made not just with similar students, but with students who may be of assistance. The process therefore gives the teacher an indication of the learners abilities and where they might struggle.
Students who have no confidence or experience in ICT may have struggeld with this task slightly. On the other hand, once the profile wiki was accessed it was just a matter of filling in the answers. Initially, because I didn't know what a wiki was, I thought I was never going to understand or sucseed with this activity.
