Blogging In Retrospect

The odd thing about blogging is that composition and reading appears to become most relevant when persons, places or things are spoken of or written in an ideal, new and fresh present-tense. Unlike an old journal, faster and faster technology almost demands a speed-up of blogging information. If no immediate dissemination is made, blogging seams to lose it's active role. However, and in retrospect, the means of expression by which writing works allow for hindsight to catch up with thought processes while multitasking, at times, overwhelming amounts of daily activity data, during the week into mental processes, using technology, allows bloggers to return to events when time may have otherwise not have allotted. Time, chronology, and speed are good things; although, blogs should receive no less interest simply because they are written today fresh off the press or yesteryear.

In fact, most great blogs and the concept of technological psychology involving constructivism, behaviorism, cognitivism, and connectivism are just as important in their time as they are historically today. This having been said, let’s reflect on Itec 830 - lesson 3 and Learning in the Digital Age

· Learning is a social process fostering learning

· Moving away from traditional teaching

· Theories and principles go hand in hand with activities and situations

· Acquisition of knowledge, if nothing else, is situated in physical context of technology

Week 4: Itec 830 introduced class to wiki for the purpose portfolio:

  • Wetpaint
  • PB wiki,
  • Wikispace, including other other Wiki tools via Netvibes

Later, I will reinforce this topic by multitasking further, following up with 5 and-on.
