Reflection 4

Almost four weeks have passed since the last reflection and a lot has happened. However, this time we didn't have that much time together in class, but we did our class sort of online! Since this class is about emerging technologies of learning the media debate really suited the idea behind this class. I truly like courses that 'play' with different forms of teaching. My last bachelor course was a course about languages, but we were required to make attribution to a blog, somehow similar to this. However, this blog was not a personal blog, but it was our course blog. So everybody had access to this blog and everybody had to make his or her contribution to the same blog. If anyone is interested:

Anyway, to get back to our current class; we have been talking about the role of media and specifically about Kozma and Clark's opinions about the role of media. I think it so nice to see that one can take a discussion that took place over 20 years ago and place it in a current context and still see that the arguments could be valid and applied. That while things couldn't be more different with those days. I wonder if Kozma and Clark would have ever thought that their discussion would be the topic of a class in 2011!? 

Back to last week; we received the introduction into the final assignment; the e-portfolio. I must admit that I had never heard of it before and I'm really intrigued. I think it is a really nice assignment and it could really come in handig later. Next to that I think it is never wrong to take a moment and reflect on yourself every once in a while. Together with our group we have set up the structure of our e-portfolio and we can start writing about ourselves.
