Blog Reflection
I found this
week’s discussion on Web 2.0 tools extremely worthwhile. Learning something new
is the best part of learning, so this week’s blogging on Web 2.0 and useful
tools was extremely exciting. Perhaps my excitement came from my non
-technology background and the yearning to know more about how I can use
technology to facilitate learning in my future classrooms. Even though I am
counselor I know and see the value of technology and how it can be utilized to
help students (as well as stakeholders in a student’s life) achieve their level
of success. However, I think I should have elaborated a bit more on my blog
about my future project because I received several clarifying questions and
comments like, “if students have any concerns or problem can counselors solve
it or just for share abilities and expression,” and “if the only purpose is to
share I would of chosen a blog.” And my response was “counselors can go to one
source to add, edit and change information with a lot more ease than a blog,”
making Wikis a more manageable tool for the organizer.
Overall, I learned a great deal of new tools and
how they can be use in an e-learning environment in this week’s blogging; more
importantly, the work I created will be added to my list of resources and
documents I can refer to when I am designing my e-learning classes. By and large
my classmates listed and described tools I have never heard of, and with like
this exposure I am positive I am sure to create something engaging and thought
provoking at the same time. Nothing is more disheartening and unmotivating than
working on an assignment that is not interesting and has no value to me as a
student. More importantly, I hope we have more of these exploration discussions
because it is assignments like these that make learning fun and worthwhile.
