Week Three Reflection

Week Three

Week Three began by defining some terms:

• Asynchronous Communication -  is the exchange of messages, such as among the hosts on a network or devices in a computer, by reading and responding as schedules permit rather than according to some clock that is synchronized for both the sender and receiver or in real time.
• Synchronous Communication- can be defined as real- time communication between two people. Examples include face-to-face or phone communication.
• Open Education Resources- (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them.
• Fair Use- is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner.
• Creative Commons -  is an American non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share.

We also spent a great deal of the class time blogging, Created our blog page, Typed our first reflection and making our blog page our own.

Here is a video on how to create your blog page using blogger.com.

For those who are interested in my blog page, take a look at it here:

During this session I face a few challenges which are:

• Editing my blog page
• Adding other things to my blog page using the setting
• Adding Authors
• Internet issuses

I overcame these challenges by:

• Adhering to our three P's for the class; Patience, Practise, Perseverance.

I will use what I have learned by: 

• Assessing the open education resources
• Try my best to write my refelections on time
• Keep updating my blog page

Here is some examples of the terms mentioned above:

 Conclusion:

Week Three, was quite challenging but I got through it. I really had to be patience, had to keep practising and had to preserve,  just to complete my blog page and get it going. I have also learned a lot from this weeks session that I can definitely use, when I return to the class. Especially from the open education resources.
