Where am I?
So I packed the cards out on the table last week, started to do the writing up of all my ideas and plans. I mentioned on someone's blog that I kept on asking myself (reflecting) what will be different from doing the traditional way of facilitating only and introducing an e-learning component to the old fashioned way. Yes, the literature is clear about "why", e.g. enhancement and opportunity to develop students' reasoning-, critical thinking-, debating-, reflecting-, participating abilities, also that the facilitator can be in almost constant contact with the students and it provides for the "silent" students who would rather see the face of the computer than the face of the faclitator on a daily basis (especially our generations X and Y - the faces of their cellphones and computers are often their best friends and they prefer this way of communication, often they cannot live without that face). Many more reasons, but this is where I am now, constantly evaluating, still formalizing the developing, but should be ready with an implementation and evaluation plan next week. Good luck to all.

Sounds as if you are really engaging well with yr intervention.
ReplyDeleteDespite the Y generation, I have also had quite a few students who have not heard of things such as Dropbox etc. As Craig and Wong say they only use what they like!
Its all about tailoring it to the situation, you surely cant force it. Enjoy the final write up.
