I’m not sure how obvious it is, but I am a bit of a blog skeptic. I’ve always been taught to query the authority of an author, especially when it comes to the Internet and now here I am posting all my own thoughts and views, but who am I that anyone would want to read what I write? Maybe my resistance stems from the fact blogging is quite a public act and I am quite a private person (yes I was the one secretly hoping I could weasel out of the group aspect of assessment 2!) that blogging does go against the grain.
As this is taking me out of my comfort zone I am doing 3 things:
- writing out a personal contract so I don’t chicken out, this ensuring I make the most of my blog
- ask myself a number of questions that I’ll hopefully remember to comeback and answer
- ask that in my vulnerable (and I am dramatising a bit here) state YOU don’t judge me too harshly!
Personal Contract
- Be honest
- Don’t hide
- Make frequent and worthwhile contributions
- Leave profile public
- Accept comments
- Make the most of this blog as you may never do it again!
Questions
Now having maintained a blog for the duration of the subject (optimism!)
- How well do you feel blogging contributed to your learning?
- How has your perception of blogging changed?
- Will you continue to blog?
- What aspects of the blog did you enjoy, if any?
Hi
Just a little introduction before I get carried off into blog oblivion.
I am currently studying my Masters in Adult Education and with an interest in eLearning signed up for a subject entitled eLearning Experiences, Models and Theories 1. So take this as my disclaimer, I do not profess to know everything (or anything for that matter) about Education, eLearning or otherwise. I am merely putting my 2 cents out there.
This blog (as well as being compulsory!) will guide you through this journey they call learning! So over the next 11 weeks (?) I will jot down my thoughts and ideas, make of them what you will!
