I really appreciate my group-mates hard work and contribution to our group activity. Although we may not post the most passages on the blog, we do make comments and give feedback to each other, from which we benefit a lot. As Clive said in last session, the main value of learning is getting feedback and reflection from each other and we have achieved the value, I think. It is a good opportunity to rethink of innovative practices in education, as well as in our lives. Lively discussion always occurs when we try to follow up what happens around us, such as the unfortunate passing away and great achievements of Jobs and our new classroom. Finally, I suggest we try to make more comments on other group’s blog and share our opinions during the process.
Any reflection and comments are warmly welcome.
