Reflection:
This artifact provide a media enrich educational tool to help with innovative thinking and inventiveness from the learners. Most students have already experienced the web based application, YouTube, for sharing experiences and learning from others. YouTube is able to run on most Operating Systems; able to stream or run from a device application. Using free web hosting provider, Wikispace along with YouTube, the instructor and students are able to contribute in a shared medium that is Operating Systems and hardware independent. The drawback from using this technology is the availability of the Internet access. These free online applications do require Internet access which can be difficult for under development areas that lack the network infrastructure.

I was able to explore the possibility of a hybrid learning environment where the material can be presented in traditional classroom or even in a computer lab for face-to-face interaction.  The other possibility is having the instruction available online for meetings.  The students will be able to experience the best of both world, face-to-face and in a virtual environment.
