Me and Edublogs …

My experience of edublogs has been fairly good so far. However I must say that lately the site has been down so much as I’ve been working on my short course. So what I’ve been doing is writing my posts in Word and then pasting it when the site is functioning properly. This sort of adds to the stress I’ve been feeling lately as the end of the year is rolling around and we’ve just got those last major assignments to go. Also I don’t think I am a fantastic blogger because my blog entries are like essays! I have the tendency to write a lot, you should see the birthday cards I write for my friends … I must say it has been strange keeping track of my progress because I’m such a paper and pen learner. I believe that the face to face interaction I have with my teachers is where I learn best. I’ve struggled with features of the online course I’m currently completing and I’ve found help difficult to come by via the provider. I prefer having someone take me along my learning rather than depend so much on myself. I believe that I can be independent and successful but I also need that support along the way that a teacher provides. I have an appreciation for e-Learning and can see how it can work in other contexts but for me I think blending e-Learning with face to face learning is perhaps the way to go. So in saying that, I’ve enjoyed the subject because it is exactly that … a blend of different learning modes. More reflections to come when class finishes … this was just a passing thought which I just had to put in
