Reflection on the three weeks


Reflection on the three weeks


     During only three weeks, I have learned things that I didn’t know how to use them until I started the course (EDU401). This course is the most interesting and useful course at this semester, for me at least. It teaches us how to use technology with teaching such as the use of different social networks. We have started with the Yahoo Groups; how to create an account, how to join a group, how to interact with other members of the group and helping each other. I think it was simple and easy to use. We can make good use of the databases, polls, links and the files area. Then the paraphrasing of the article (Normalisation), which was a new term we didn’t expose to before , which we posted on a blog we learned how to create. I had a blog before but I never think about to use blogging in teaching, which I learned in this course. We have learned also about how to bookmark different links using delicious, and how to share a wiki with classmates. One of the most interested and useful classes was the discussion about the different between digital native and digital immigrant, which was also totally a new term for me. The question after talking this course is, do we really consider as digital natives?

  2. I am glad you liked the discussion about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants.

    In my humble opinion (IMHO), yes, I do consider you digital natives!
    Keep on learning!
