the "reflective blog"

after this semester using a weblog, I think it could possibly be the “way of the future” in education. I don’t see why they are not used in every subject – they are really helpful, and it’s great to see what every one else thinks, and their opinions and ideas. I learn a lot from peers and teachers so I think weblogs are very useful.

I think I am definitely a cyborg these days
I have my laptop permanently attached to me, it seems
And a mp3 player, and a digital camera, oh and a mobile phone.
I feel like im using so much technology daily
It makes me more productive and I get a lot more done.. but then again ‘work expands to fill the time’
But some times I wonder what my life would be like without all this technology!
the fact i'm now aware of my connection to technology probably makes me more of a cyborg.

This course was “great”. I hate saying it was great, but I really think it was! I’m so glad I took this course, I had no idea what it was really about or what it would be like, but I took a leap of faith and I believe it has really enhanced my life

And my understanding and knowledge about issues to do with the internet and technology and its representation in the media.

I believe this course to be greatly beneficial, and I think it could be a good first year subject option…. Because you learn about the internet, and options available, such as weblogs etc, which I’d never really come across before, or been shown how to use

I found all the hand outs really specific and thus very helpful

The workshops were interesting and enjoyable- I like the idea of interactive workshops, where you’re interacting with your whole class, not just your tute group (plus the ipod ad competition with chocolate was excellent :)

One disappointment for me was not being able to attend lectures due to a lecture clash, listening to it on the net is just not the same… :(

Ok, so I’ve rambled on for long enough

I suppose the general idea is I really enjoyed this subject and keep up the great work Tama and Karen :) thanks
