New Wikispace- Learninghaven

This week we also had a forum like to discuss our wiki which is sailing without direction so far. We brainstorm ,list out the problems and suggestions to overcome the problems. Finally a new wikispace called learning haven was born to help us . The new wiki is very much a 'baby' which is very much guided and taking us one step at a time .Dr. Tee is trying to help us by guiding to complete our wiki. The new wiki is very much easier for us to go through and relate to answer the given questions. This week we are supposed to 'play around' with this new 'baby' learninghaven.wikispaces and then answer these questions .

What do you think of the new "how people learn" wiki?
I think the new wiki is more structured and guided to help us to answer the related questions. The activities given in the wiki consists all the levels in bloom's taxonomy. Now I could relate better what the question' how' actually wants. The video though takes time to download but very helpful in guiding to answer the activites.


What helps you learn?
A really good question as I need to jot down things as that helps me to learn. Besides that using analogy helps me to learn better because I could understand any concept when I use analogy.Listening to lectures can help me to learn when I take down notes of what the lecturer is saying. Participating in activites also helps me to learn better because I'm relating to what I had listened or written down.



What gets in the way of your learning?
Well , one if I'm not prepared for the days lesson than it gets in the way of my learning as I don't know the head or tail of what input is being given to me. I have to read beforehand or not I will be lost. Another thing that could hamper my learning if I do not certain skills . For instance you are required to read the information given in the excel chart. If I m not familiar in using excel than it will be a problem to me.
