Students using tools to design their learning!

When it comes to designing it is not only the architects or business sktechers and not only the Teachers, as we have been talking so far that design , but also Children, our Kids, our Students too.
From the very early childhood, kids learn the way they want it and use the tools they want to implement in learning. Scaffolding and guidance though helping them a lot for creation of they have imagined, it is them, who decide how to play and how to design their acts one by one.
I have been teaching different grades and levels of students for many years and with each level, I have experienced different learning path and tools and now that more of computer and technology of online teaching integrating into students' lives!Learning as well as teaching has gone through a big a change.
Isn't this great? Having the comfort of your own chair and desk at home and sitting by your computer and learning. It is beautiful how our lives have been affected by computer and how teaching and education is going to be affected even more.
The class I am teaching online now, addresses a higher level of audience of adult learners. Fortunately, they all know how to use their computers and basic tools: Browsing, Exploring, Word processor, and most importantly the ease of audio and video teacher-student virtual class, where they can do anything they can do in a real physical class outside.

The tools the students use in this class are far more than just typing or reading the articles. They can collaborate with each other in group work activities with annotation tool bar allowing them to work on charts or graphs, calculating and analyzing the data and concluding to get to solve the problems of an authentic task.
In the next posts I am going to explain more on these tools and their affordability.
