Dekita Kitchen - Getting to know each other

  • Getting to know each other

    Posted: September 28th, 2008, 10:31pm GMT by Elizabeth H-S

    Hi everyone--

    I am happy to find a somewhat cozier, safer list to contribute to. I have written several books about using technology with students (my homepage) and was expecting to learn more about connectivism, but it is a hard project following the forums at the course Moodle--so many people, so little time, and so much randomness. I look forward to following the threads here.

    My collection of resources on using video online: evovideo. Links to recent papers on technology. My blog: Virtual=Real. My email: ehansonsmi @ yahoo.com

    Cheers-- Elizabeth Hanson-Smith

    Hi Vance,

    Welcome and hope to read about your impressions on the Connectivism course. Time is definitely an important issue and many people gripe about it. Not surprising - "Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils"  (Berlioz).

    Hi everyone,

    It's about time I found my way to the kitchen.  It seems we all know each other here already but in case others turn up I'm Vance, a Webhead living in Abu Dhabi.  I blog at [adVancEducation.blogspot.com] though I haven't had much time lately.  Time is a big problem isn't it.  There's so much going on.  It will be interesting to see how people deal with the significant demands of the Connectivism course and all the other events taking place.  If you have a bit of spare time, drop by [webheads10years.wikispaces.com] and see if you can help us celebrate ten years of time spent interacting, some of us, others less.  Others here have another ten years to look forward to.  Just putting time in perspective.  There's never time to do everything, the important thing is to take the time to do something. ^Vance^

    Welcome Maryanne.

    Better late than never:-) No stress. This is a place away from the "madding crowd", where we can get together and exchange ideas about what strikes us as important informally or get some help in organizing our readings and tools. It is not meant to subtitute or compete with the main course but open a parallel space to weave in situations and issues from the specific ELT and learning foreign language context.

    Hi everyone,

    It looks as if I'm a little late starting. I'll try to catch up. I am a retired teacher of ESL in grades 6-12 in Buffalo, New York.  Before I retired I started teaching f2f courses at the State University of New York at Buffalo after receiving my Ph.D in Second Language Education from that institutuion.  During that time I also took the courses leading to the TESOL certificate for online teaching and I discovered the webheads.  What a sharing group of individuals!

    Now I teach online courses about using the Internet for educational purposes from my home in Maryland through the University at Buffalo.  One of the mods in the course is about connectivism so I would like to become more familiar myself with all that this concept involves.

    Hey..lovely...I had not been here for some time and it's filling up. So good to see you!

    Carla, Randi, Nelba, Hala, Sasa - welcome and take a seat. Share with us how and why you envisage to follow the Connectivism course,  which has brought so many people online. Although most of us know each other, when you have a little time fill in your profile for others who don't and feel free to open new topics in the discussions category for issues you would like to tackle.

    I know Hala has some :-)

    Hello Bee and  all,

    Thanks Bee for creating this space. I love to see what will come up from the interesting threads and discussions about connectivism in/and ELT.

     Here we go again:

    My name is Hala Fawzi, an English language teacher at a private university in Khartoum, Sudan, since 1994. I am involved in blended learning, online learning and the use of Web 2.0 tools in teaching, learning and for teacher professional development. I am interested in exploring how can ELT field benefit from the notion of connectivism. Can we say that we have now a C-learning ( connectivism learning), with  e-learning, m-learning? 

    Looking forward to learning from/with you all
