The first to post a Read Review Respond…

Well finally I managed to be first to do something on my M.A. course by posting the first RRR on EDUC5251. It won’t last but at least its a good start. Not looking forward to meetings at the end of the week when I would rather be realxing over a shisha and ‘awa masbout’…but such is life.

Must now post my old assignments to the repository seeing that it was my idea and Aisha was kind enough to set it up.

Have decided to look in detail at three chapters that seem to show interesting research:-

  • Allegories of Creative Destruction: Technology and Organisation in Narratives of the Economy
  • Virtual Society and the Cultural Practice of Study
  • Abstraction and Deconceptualisation: An Anthropological Comment

Heavy titles as you can see. In the meantime I am still looking at ideas for my Critical Study. The work on Web 2.0 and its actual ‘nitty gritty’ effects on learning could be an interesting one. Although there has been lots of research already. I have even maybe thought of looking at how the use of Web 2.0 technologies could improve distance learning maybe on the course I am working on, or with another group of students starting their first year? Will mull this over further. There is an interesting post here from Tony Karrer on the take up of Web 2.0 beyond the inital hype into actual use.
