Continuum

I thought this was a nice bit of continuation from last week's post and link Team based e-learning turns a new page. In my ever feeble attempts to make you think more globally, more internationally, more hey-there's-a-big-wide-world-out-there, one of the points I liked about this article was the collaboration aspect. Don't limit yourselves to collaboration with just your fellow Indianans, look across the globe! Encourage your students to develop international friendships and penpals through technology mediums such as email or Skype video. Form a bond with another class in another country. Learn and grow and accept that the world is so much bigger than our small corner of the wondrous universe.

And because we're talking about multi-media and hyper-media in this third Learning Block, even though we looked at YouTube as a medium for online technologies, the concept of video falls firmly under this LB. This is one of my favourite songs and falls nicely into what I'd like you as future educators to think about for this Learning Block. Media is an amazing tool for breaking down barriers, reaching across the globe and establishing learning and teaching developments that you'll never find in a university lecture hall.
