Final Blog!

http://prezi.com/nq4no7qcwjxk/popular-culture-and-peer-based-learning/

So it's almost finals time and everyone is trying to finish everything school wise on a good note. During these last few weeks, students are trying to cram as much studying as possible. Most of students' studying is done in peers; comparing notes and ideas. My project focuses on popular culture and peer based learning. For my revision I decided to go back to my second mini project and elaborate more on how both work and what studies show from the results of using these techniques to learn.

Mini Project 3




This week for my project I created a fakebook! :) I used Mimi Ito's HOMAGO and guest lectures from YouTube to post statuses. She talks about how learning together and also the use of technology can benefit anyone.  Research has proved that an average students retention rate is the greatest when they teach others. Peer-based learning is the most efficient way of learning material because you're helping others while helping yourself so everyone wins.Have a great week!

Mini Project 2

This week I decided to make a Prezi. It's my very first one ever but I got the hang of it closer to the end of making it using animations and all that other stuff. I went into depth with popular culture and peer based learning. I think my topic can go in many different directions as far as popular culture but I used a few classmates as  well as the interner sources to ask what comes to mind when "popular culture" and "peer based learning" and included it in my presentation. Have a good week :)
