26 August

I was absent on 26 August. I felt down and out sick! I don`t know what was wrong. I have been to the doctor and he put me off for two days.I cannot afford to become sick now. I cannot afford to fall behind with my assignments. I need to get better and fall in again. Sandy sent me the email about the Wikis lecture. I read through it, but abviously one understand it better when you are in the class. The first two pages sound like another blog. but as one go along it sounded more like a group effort I need to hear from the other students what Wiki is all about. Today, Monday I am feeling a little better. I just wish the strike could end, because it also put a lot of stress on us.

listerv

It was a very interesting lecture. I enjoyed it because it was easy to understand. Sandy helped us to set up our web for our listerv activity which also counts 10% of our marks. I recieve mail 22 August. I am busy going through the mail to decide which discussion I was going to follow. This will not be a easy decision. I need more time before I will be able to send Sandy my answer.I recieve messages about weatherwise, Powerfull Medicine etc.
Thank you

Overwhelming technology

I need to empower myself with all the new technology to be able to run a successfull school library.At present I feel overwhelming because the lectures in the class are going to fast. I feel I cant keep up. I am going to relax and keep on practicing. On 5 August our lecture was about e-books.I heard a lot about it,but I did not understand how it worked. Now I know.I like the idea that it can be read in total darkness, but I dislike the idea that you need to look after it like a baby.The learners at my school will not be able to afford e-books. I have not one learner in my class tha have their own computer at home. So the e-book will not even interest them.But like I introduced them to computers at school. I will introduced them to e-books through powerpoint like I was introduced.
THANK YOU

late addition 29 july 2010

I am late with this addition,but like I said I am getting there. Ihope in future to be on time with all my additions. Our lecture was about WEB 2.0. for teachers and librarians.I like the idea that the web accomodate all the users to add knowledge and to have access to it. There are different websites one can use and also introduce it to the children and to our staff. I will try to check each one out by myself so that I can have a better idea as to what is the best tool to use for a certain subject. The tag cloud had me puzzled in the beginning It looked like a child created it. The biggest words on the cloud are mostly used by the users. I still need to get use to the technologies used in WEB 2.0.
