Eddie\’s Bloggage –>

Everythings has been set up for the commencement of this subject. I am really looking forward to it and can’t wait to learn new things. It does look a bit difficult but I during the next coming weeks, I will be guided in the right direction.

I am still playing around with the different accounts. Still not familiar with them except for the edublog, in which have had some prior experience to this. So now is the start of the learning journey and hope I can gain a greater knowledge that now.

I hope that in the next coming weeks, I have the knowledge so that I will be able to teach somebody about all these tools and the benefits they have from a personal and professional perspective. It starts now.

During this week, we were given a task to create three of the following: a del.ico.us account,  a netvibes account and finally a edublog (this one).

What I have learnt so far is that a del.icio.us account is a social book marking web site that allows me to add or access book marks any where online. My del.icio.us account is http://del.icio.us/esugito

Net vibes is like a place where I can store all the important notices such as weather, emails, pictures etc all on one place making it easier to navigate. I can not put my net vibes up here because it does not have its own special URL.

Finally, edublog is a virtual blogging tool that can be used to reflect on learning and its impact. I think this will be very useful. My edublog account is: http://esugito.edublogs.org/

These online tools were going to be used throughout the semester to help us gain further knowledge with the different aspects of e-learning experiences.

After creating all the accounts, we had to send it to the UTS group discussion board as part of the first assessment. At the moment, I am still in the process of learning how use these particualar tools so that it can help me in the future to make things easier to do.

Today is the day. The beginning. The beginning of the creation of my edublog and the start of my learning journey through the use of various tools from technology. So what is an edublog? Well, I learnt that it is pretty much similar to an online journal where I can reflect on my experiences and my progressive learning. I personally find that it allows a range of interactions between other users and myself by sharing different ideas and resources with other learners so that it can enrich my online experience and broaden my knowledge.

As I am currently sit in class, we are having a class debate “whether E-learning experiences is the future or just a phase”. It was very interesting to see how the class brought up some very interesting comments and knowledge to the debate. Critical thinking was important in order to understand the different sides, and how they in the end, intertwine with each other. A fun debate which hopefully, we will have more of these soon so it allows us to open our minds and absorb all the various views of different people.

Hello everybody and welcome to my web blog. My name is Edward and I am currently studying at UTS doing BAOL major in HR.

E-learning experiences is the current subject that will teach and guide me with the use of this edublog. In the next coming months (years?), I will be using this tool to share my my thoughts and feeling on some concepts and aspects that I have learnt through class and through my spare time in relation to e learning. I will also provide ongoing reflection during this process to see how my learning is progressing and to also to maximise and retain the knowledge.

I hope that whilst you read my blog that you too will learn and capture the knowledge as I do. Because if you do, it will show how web blogs can be used as a powerful tool as a networking device for learning no matter where you are in the virtual world.

Come back and enjoy your stay!
