Week 8 Reflection

This week we were asked to search using the hashtag again from weeks 7 reflection but using other social media other than TUMBLR.

By doing so, looking at Facebook and Instagram, you find so much more information within these platforms.

The findings on facebook, you see pages dedicated to Beatrix Potter and photos from her stories that people share within the comments that people post.

On Instagram you see peoples post’s of different photos all around the world of where the TV series was filmed to merchandise and productions of the different stories written by Beatrix Potter.

Using the hashtag within learning helps students to placing what they have written online or photos posted into categories, so that others can follow or to like the information shared.

picture books on Facebook.

Following on from last week with the task of hash tagging picture books on social media and seeing what appears, this week I did this task on Facebook and the results were very similar to tumblr with a variety of results appearing including tributes to children’s books that have been read, ads for selling books and pictures of front covers of picture books.

I believe the use of hash tagging on social media can be a great resource for children to use in school to research a topic covered in class, as it allows the students the opportunity to see the different results that appear from a single search, in saying this teachers would have to keep control of what is being searched to make sure it is appropriate and staying within the topic being taught.

In concluding I think through experience in doing this task that hash tagging is absolutely a viable alternative to research classroom based information which will only enhance the students technological skills for future tasks throughout their education.

#picturebooks

#picturebooks on tumblr provided many different headings, posts and images of various picture books. I guess what I gained from doing this task was the importance that pictures have when it comes to children and reading books, pictures allow children to follow along with the story when the words may become difficult to comprehend, it also allows the reader to put an image to the words the author has written which provides the reader with the opportunity to better grasp what the author is trying to say in words.

Aboriginal Resource.

After exploring the ABC website teaching resource, I came across the video of the aboriginal song contest 2017, this was both interesting and a great resource  for this topic as I believe students would enjoy having the opportunity to create their own song in relation to their land and culture. This could be a great task in relation to an aboriginal text being “The Barrumbi Kids” by Leonie Norington.
