"How we learn" task
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
Recipy activity
In this activity, proposed by my teacher, the important point was to do something new and learn autonomously, and the idea that came to my mind was related with baking pancakes.
In this first webpage suggested, http://www.landolakes.com/, they were asking for LAND O LAKES® products. I think they are not easy to find here and may be expensive. In the second webpage suggested, http://www.gourmet.com/recipes, although it is appealing for me everything seemed to complex. In the third webpage suggested, http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/childrens-food/basic-pancakes-with-sugar-and-lemon.html, I finally got an idea.
My mom just bought a pancake pot with a nice design and to tell you the true I don’t know how to do pancakes. I have always wanted to learn, but the simple reason of laziness and time constraints have not encouraged me to learn.
After reading the recipe provided in this webpage, http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/childrens-food/basic-pancakes-with-sugar-and-lemon.html, and looking at this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnCVZozHTG8, I began to do them.
Since I rarely visit my kitchen, my parents were a bit worried about it, but after I talk to them and told them that it was part of homework, they were interested in knowing about it and accompanied me until the end.
I began doing the mixture and to tell you the true I was a bit tired of stirring, because my wrists are not good these days, so at one moment I decided to stop and begin putting the liquid mixture in the frying pan. The first one got burned and in the second try part of the liquid mixtures spill over, so I feel a bit disappointed and sad, but my parents motivated me and from the third try until I finish, the pancakes were giving off a good smell that motivated me a lot.
Finally, from the comments and some pictures I took, I could notice that you like them.
My expectations
After reviewing the syllabus and the course structure, my expectations regarding SOLRC II are:
1. To enhance the use of ICTs and Web 2.0 tools by creating something to encourage learner autonomy in my students. (Somewhere to keep and share all the resources I have by now)
2. To contribute to the course development and to plan my time accurately trying not to have delays.
3. To learn and to enjoy the course.
To fulfill my expectations, I will receive each task with a positive attitude, in order to spend the time required to review information, improve it researching a bit more and contributing to our collaborative learning environment.
