I am a mature aged flex student in my third year of an Associate Degree in Learning Management. (Hoping to complete my full degree after this one). I am what is now termed as a digital immigrant so really need to be doing this course to keep up with my future students.
I am living my dream. After years of living in towns I am back on the land raising cattle and kids. I work in a small school not far from where I live.
Confucius said, “Tell me and I will forget, Show me and I will remember, Involve me and I will understand.”
In the words of Barbara Ganley: ‘The deeper into blogging I got, the more I couldn’t disentangle the pedagogy from the blogging — to talk about blogs means to talk about student centred learning, collaborative knowledge spaces and constructivist pedagogy. Teaching with blogs the way I do — which means not applying them piecemeal but integrating them fully in all their messy, flexible, fluid promise — means that you have to let go of control of the classroom, give up the stage and create opportunities for learning magic to occur. The trick is to weave the learning and the tool so seamlessly together that the blog is the class and the class finds the blog indispensable’(2005)
