“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.” ― Douglas Adams And tomorrow we have Christmas eve – my mental deadline for this course. I know it just doesn’t correlate with the official timetable, but I will give it a try. I sort of knew when I signed up for … Continue reading Christmas is just around the corner… going off-line in one, two, three…

I noticed that many things in pedagogy and in life are based on three items in a model. The key is to balance these essential elements placed in triangles, to think of all them in the same time. The situation in education most often is based on three elements: there always is a student, a … Continue reading Only triangles as pedagogical frameworks ? →

The course finished last week and the assignment now is to summarize the learnings, and I re-read my notes a bit randomly from the past ten weeks. I have deliberately waited a few days before opening my blog page, as I’m still in a reflective stage. And that, I guess, is a pretty good sign … Fortsätt läsa Learnings….?

So, our ONL181 course have now come to an end. It is with both sentimentality and also some relief I write this blog post. It´s always … Continue reading No, this is not the end. →

The most important thing that I have learnt throughout by participating in the course has little to do with tangible stuff and much more to do with confidence in using digital tools and navigating in an online environment. When I entered the ONL course, I considered myself to be digitally illiterate. Although that might have … Fortsätt läsa Reflection on my learning journey throughout ONL

One of my experiences from the course, that might be out of scope for the real course content, is that there are many tools around that are aimed to facilitate learning, and the quality of the tools are quite shifting. However, new tools take time to learn and the time seems to be substantially different … Continue reading Lessons learnt →

So- the course is coming to an end. We have been given questions to reflect on and I do not know where to begin. I have recommended the course to so many of my teacher friends. I find myself talking about this course in a fascinated voice and my friends and family just laugh at … Fortsätt läsa Topic 5- Reflection on progress made by a beginner- and ideas for a new course to attend later…
