e-learning week

this week has been great! with the full timetable kicking in, the workload is piling up. almost as high as it could get now. it's been a while since i did my reflection over here. as much as i embrace ict and am a regular blogger before coming to nie, i find it hard to find time now to sit down and blog my thoughts with the amount of work coming my way. ict is good but it is only good when people know how to use it and have the time to use it? just something for me to think about as life goes on... :)

this week in e-learning, we read about issues that occur during the implementation of ict into curriculum. i found out that there are indeed many areas to consider when implementing ict into lessons. it's not just about choosing the form of ict to implement. in fact, it goes beyond that! there are issues like class room management, student motivation among others to consider. no foolproof plan for implementing ict into lessons but the key is to be well prepared before implementing ict into lessons. this week's lesson added another dimension to my understanding of implementing ict into lessons. in the past, i thought it's simply just using a suitable form of ict and try to use it in the lessons. there's actually so much more to it!

besides the implementation issues, we also had to think of strategies to tackle the implementation issues. there's not a single way or strategy of solving an implementation issue. so i hope to learn from others how they would tackle the same issue. this would widen up my scope and we would all benefit by learning from one another. so i'm going to go wiki-hopping this weekend to pick up the tips from the rest.

in the coming weeks, each group will be doing a demo and i hope to learn new things from the various demos. i think some of the things on demo are rather new to me. even if it's not totally new, i guess i could discover some new things that i didn't know previously. looking forward to the weeks ahead! in the meantime, have a blessed weekend! :D
