My Reflections on Learning - OCL4Ed
First of all, I am not so much used
to blogging, thankfully after this 1st session, I manage to create
my blog for this course and write my thoughts. Then I heard about ‘microblog’,
I researched and understood the difference between a blog and a microblog.
Moreover I did not quite paid attention about vocation and profession before, then this question rose up and made me think about my roles and attitudes as an educator.
Eventually, it is now through the open forum that I got to think about my
vocation and my profession and reflect about my personal situation as a
teacher.
This free course on Open Content
Licensing is digging out my mind about my previous knowledge on open education
resources. The tasks we get involved in the activity helps to think deeper
about teaching aids and resources. I have been able to distinguish between
vocation and profession. Moreover after watching the video on Desmond Tutu
statement on digital freedom where he spoke about cultural artifacts, I realize
it is time to sensitize the population about sharing and enlarging the academic
community. We cannot live as selfish people. It is high time to innovate and
develop new strategies and sharing resources in teaching and learning, this
will not only saves time and energy but will create fraternity among teachers
and make them competent in their job.
Sharing
of ideas create variety in learning materials and enhance the objectives, thus
creating better students for the future. Since we have easy access to internet
and software tools and application, uploading learning materials and resources
can be done a click away and made easy for the students to do research and
become independent learner. Additionally, this will make us feel as in a global
educational village with positive attitudes towards helping each other in
teaching and learning throughout the world and get to learn though other
cultures as well.
