MIDTERM PRESENTATION 98908 Introduction to Emerging Technologies
INTRODUCTION In these days, learning and teaching system is improving. E-learning start to be strengthen all over the world. E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge using various tools to deliver the content of training such as Internet, CDs or TV.
My midterm presentation concern a blog site which is a free mini website easy to use and easy to share information with others. A blog is more helpful because it allows people to read the thoughts of author and comment to them.
Why did I choose Blog? Blog is a fundamental tool to online learning; preparation, uploading and sharing information and documents online. Identifying myself by my real name will help my blog visitors to identify information related to me. My aim is to develop a tool that could, show the blogger the state of its privacy settings.
What are the Pros and Cons associated with the use of blog? The advantages of using blog: • Makes learning independent of time and place • Makes education demand oriented, participant-centered • Encourages learners to be active throughout the course period • Helps learners to improve writing competencies • Captures changes in thinking • Invite people to collaborate • Makes education more informal…
Disadvantages of using a blog: • Other learners prefer 1-way teaching and to be told what they must to do • Supply orientation is still a part of education culture at many schools • As everyone can participate on a blog, biased and/or inaccurate information nay occur. • Some learners are under heavy pressure (Full time job, other courses, family,…) • Some education participants are less open than others,… My blog http://kagas.wordpress.com/ Shows how my PLE is organized.
What is the applicability of the blog to my context and support for future work? As a database administrator of academic institution, the blog I created will help me and all community to have information about the data base I administrate. My PLE is a way to achieve my objectives http://kagas.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/my-ple/ The future work will be effective becouse many people of our institution or outside the institution will contibute.
Applicability • A blog allows me to post questions about the programming language and get answer from the community. • When I get error in the codes, I post the error on the blog and get various solutions at the same place. • It creates a Community by reacting on the posts I made • I don't need to worry about site creation costs and maintenance fees when using free blog sites • The blog helped me to build up my online network
Conclusion In these days, information remain a key of all organizations. To keep people informed on what you are doing or on your life, a blog is where your post message and others comment on it.
