On Saturday, it was a fun session sharing each other’s insights on the use of Internet tools – wikispace , google docs, FB were on top of our chatting list. I am looking forward to see Sailor and Yee Hui’s talk on the experience using webnode and wikispace. From their experience I learn that these tools are relevant to the present teaching and learning process using Internet.
The next lesson I learn was history lesson presented in an attractive visual presentation. If World and Malaysian history can be taught and presented in such manner, kids will not complain about History being dull. It’s interesting to see the evolution of information technology that moves swiftly..too fast for some of us including me, I am barely getting to know Web 2.0 and suddenly the younger sibling of Web 3.0 is ready to make her entrance.
A couple of questions here. Is one considered backdated if he still holds on to the technology of Web 1.0 and takes his own time to embrace Web 2.0?
In terms of teaching and learning process, does the teacher have the time to figure what works and what does not work when it comes to the use of technology? It is as if time and technology are arch enemies!

ReplyDeleteAs I've mentioned during the presentation. The web that we know/use nowadays seemed pretty much the same as we started using it say, 10 years ago. What we are not aware that the perception and potential utility of the internet has evolved since then. Physically we may not see or even notice the changes, but the way/culture/mindset of using them has shifted. Those people who coined the idea of web 1.0, 2.0 and the coming 3.0 are concepts and ideas how the web could/should be used. To facilitate these ideas, tools inline with these concepts are created eg google docs, blogs etc.
And how these people coin these ideas/concepts? because they needed the internet to work in such a way to help them to get work done...
today's teacher need to learn the new IT knowledge to help their instruction design. i feel lucky because i am not too late to start the IT learning.
