My reflections on the E-pedagogic course 5th of May 2008

My reflections on the E-Pedagogy course 5\5\2008

This are my reflections of the first day of our E-Pedagogy Course. It was quite a different area, after the great weekend on Skerjehamn
We started the day with the presentation of the teachers in this course and I think I can learn a lot of them. Grete Oline Hole gave a presentation about e-learning pedagogy with a lot of interesting notes which I really want to know more about, for instance about the three taxonomies she mentioned. I have to improve my knowledge about pedagogics to become a good e-teacher!

After her presentation we talked about our (the students) experiences about our experiences of the firt weeks. It seemed that all students had the same feeling: the overwhelming lot of work and the time you need, but you haven't. I learned that it is important to make a time schedule for the coming weeks, and link it to the tasks to do. I will try to do that as soon as possible.
We also talked about some technical problems. The thing that irritated me most is the fact that I have problems with my Blog. I learned most from seeing what to do and not only from text.

The presentation of Anne Karin about e-teacher competences was interesting and connected with my relation to my blackboard course with the US students I am very much aware of the importance of the collaboration with your students, the interaction and the dialogue.
Also the ICT skills are very important for me to get more familiair with it.

The afternoon training in navigating was clear for me and I learned some new and helpful things: how to see all the participants together, how to send a mail to all the students etc.

The Blog training is still difficult for me: I made a new blog, but it is not yet in mij it's learning, not find in my e-portfolio! How to do that? I hope that it soon will be managed!
