A first year group's reflections

Here you can see a bubbl.us activity being used to help 1st year students explore the concept of reflective learning. The students created this bubble collaboratively as they also got to grips with the tools that bubbl.us have in their free version of the app. They went on to produce their own bubble and embedded them on their own blogs. For some students this was a straightforward procedure, that was a mere progression from their activities on Facebook or their personal blogs, but for others there were a fair amount of concerns and anxieties to do with their perceived ICT skill set. Some of them don't realise just how skilled they are and that the skills they have are so easily transferable. My hopes are that this course helps to build their confidence as well as broaden their personal resources. Only time will tell!
