Hi everyone. I am very excited about this ICT course that we are starting! I think it is great that we have a variety of skill sets, because we can lean on each other throughout our journey. I feel like a sponge, albeit an old sponge trying to soak up all of the information that I can. Just staying one step ahead of my own kids is a challenge. In all honesty, if I have learned anything in my digital experience, is to no longer expect to be the one in the classroom that is the "expert". In every classroom, we are surrounded with many "experts", and at the touch of our fingers, we can certainly access a multitude of information. The way we teach will never be the same! We facilitate as part of a team, as opposed to lecture. I LOVE IT!
I am probably more excited about this course, than I have been for a long time. I believe it is just so applicable in our day to day jobs. One thing I have discovered in previous online courses (moodle, skype and even teleconference), that we do develop real relationships with our peers. I honestly had some misgivings that this environment would ever support the personal aspect, but I was oh so wrong. I have found we do get to know each other, and do support one another in the journey, I look forward to diving right in....deep end, or... maybe the middle end to start, but I am looking forward to this learning experience just the same! Second class....T minus 55 minutes! Talk to you soon!

I was also surprised at how the class communicates without ever really seeing anyone. I am really looking forward to this class too. I hope we get the chance to network and see how others use different web tools.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment about the experts in the class. I've been doing this for a long time but there is always so much new stuff that the term expert doesn't go very far. I do find it fascinating still and I love your enthusiasm.
