Week I reflections

As already said in the initial post, I had a bit of a technical glitch. However, all is sorted. One of the beauties of web 2.0 is that things are much simpler than they used to be lets say about 5 years back. Things have become faster and easier and more convenient and more user-friendly(:
I think blogs can be useful for a teaching-learning situation in many ways. Here are a few:
a) It can provide an interactive platform between students and teachers and between peers
b) It allows students to work at their own pace and can grant relative autonomy.
c) It allows a private space to share thoughts without the interference of an all-seeing face-to-face teacher
d) Most importantly, I think, within the Indian context, it allows students to get 'published' without bothering too much about publication houses and their tantrums(:
e) In my context, it is particularly useful since it is a low-cost and low-resource tool that does not demand a massive bandwidth or high internet speeds; the user-friendliness is an added bonus especially for students who are not very tech-savvy.
Finally, here's a video that I enjoyed watching (only tangentially related to blogs) on web 2.0.
Cheers

    Hi,

    This is great blog. I agree with you that technology is easier now than they were in the past.

    I can remember creating a very, very simple webpage using HTML. It was really difficult.

    Hi Atanu,
    This is a nice blog. I was also thinking about using my blog as an interactive platform when starting it. The school starts in September in Moldova and I hope to gather enough ideas before that moment.
    Best wishes,
    Ion
