Gosh!!what a daunting experience! For someone who is not so IT Savy, yesterday's experience was was indeed overwhelming. The gallery walk not only enabled me to see the different styles one can incorporate in their blogs- the skin, the music etc, it also jolted me out of my comfort zone and see the virtual world my school kids and my own child are immersed in. The creation of the website using wetpaint.com has given me ideas on how I can create a website for Lit. Perhaps I should call it Harper Lee and the Mockingbirds.
Well, in essence, the learning landscape has changed vastly and if we want to connect with present gen, we ought to step into their world and take a peek. Bransford in the "Design of Learning Environments" stated that the "challenges and expectations have changed though schools are functioning as well as ever." If real changes have to come, I believe it has to start with the teachers changing their mindset and daring to do things different. More to come but I'm game for it. Why not, esp with ever eager-to-help-friends around you?
