I think I will be able to put my career into perspective and organize my writings and readings in one single spot.
I recently read a comment on a blog about how students have no social skills what-so-ever beingraised in a computer generated world. I find this a bit disturbing, because social skills include being able to communicate with others f2f and why not digitally. I find that the focus is more on the form and not the depth. Spelling and computer skills have nothing to do with social skills. A student of mine recently posted an article "Are computers female or male". She received so much reaction. One "female" closed her reaction with "indignated woman". The 'Indiganted woman" had so many mistakes yet she was able to understand and react to a post. Isn't that socializing?
Jackie - You have gotten off to a great start with this blog. And, yes, it is a great space to reflect on your learning process and keep thoughts organized. I am excited to see how this blog evolves during our course!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to know students use this resource to interact. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, social skills are the ones some educators believe could only be acquired in he classroom. Nowadays, technology has taught us differently!
