Waking up the giant….

Back at school, and rushing around trying to organise two new ICT suites and all the problems that come with them. Technicians have moved, faster Internet connection and two new teachers. Should be an exciting year at El Alsson British International School. Hopefully Moodle will cross over into being used with Business Studies, especially as the new Head of Department is very much into electronic resources.

But what about the M.A. well I have the feeling it is a few weeks away until we start yet. Still scrabbling over the small disappointment’s of not scoring as highly as I had wanted after so much work on my Moodle environment and hoping that the next module will have a more rigorous explanation of what is needed when it comes to writing the assignment. I have been endeavoring to read the ‘Virtual Society? Technology, Cyberbole, Reality’ and initial feelings are the scepticism that is subtly written within the first chapter about virtual worlds and beyond might be a good way to bring back some of my over-enthusiastic feelings towards ICT within Education. Although the FirstClass experience and distance learning which does not produce always a collaborative and supportive working environment has also gone some way into making me think more deeply about simply what works and what does not?

3 weeks and counting…..
