Home at last
Finally I am on board!! i guess my reflection starts with the realisation how taxing technology can be . I had difficulty in joining the group throughout the A and D stages of "addie". Now3 I join at the last D ! Reading the posting by LK on Thursday I realise that implenting an e-learning programme one needs to be knowledgeable of the various "e" communications available! This clearly exposes my computer literacy. I am determined to catch up ............very late BUT it can be done. Any suggestions? We are in the process of encouraging e-learning in the College and this journey is putting me in a good position to push forward this exercise. I am on board and certainly will get there

Hi Midion
ReplyDeletewhat matters is you here now. I think start very small for this exercise considering you maybe behind. Tell us your ideas then we can help.
Many thanks for the encouragement. Being last on board makes it somewhat easy for me !! Not sure yet what I hope to work on. Keep it simple for sure that has been my approach,I planning to work on using the WhatsApp for my teaching!! In my search for use of WhatsApp I came acroos a verfy interesting page on technnology in education:International Conference on Advanced Information and Communication Technology for Education (ICAICTE 2013). There are some very interesting artcles that has made my life a lot easier.
DeleteI agree with Taka. Keep it simple. Rather get your walking right before you try to run. Chose something simple that the students will buy into easily. It seems as if Lianne needs to run a course for apps for dummies as I too could certainly benefit!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Dianne, I really appreciate your encouragement. Looking forward to catching up but being the big DUMMY I am it still will be some struggle BUT of course the finish line is in sight that pumps up some adrenalin to keep me going. I am thinking of using WhatsApp for my project.Thought I was finding something new apparently it is in use and of course with the accompanying disease WhatsAppitis !!. Should catch up by this weekend
DeleteHey Mideon. Welcome on board! Yes, I agree with the others, try to select the most student-friendly intervention to avoid too many obstacles on their path.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Rhoda. It sure does feel great to have one's peers so supportive. Going through everbody's ideas has lightened my journey.I am planning to work on WhatsApp as a tool for education. Still reading around. Found some intersting readings on :International Conference on Advanced Informaton and Communicatio Technology fro Educatio (ICAICTE 2013)
DeleteHi Midion, never too late to start! Ask the students!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ilse. True it is never too late to start. Still reading around but hope to catch up by the weekend. During the week other forces are at play . Your support is most appreciated.
