The Beginning...

MY FAVOURITE TRIP?



How do I narrow it down to just one...? It seems as though everytime I come home from somehwere I find myself saying, to whoever will listen, "...(sigh) so sad to be home, that was the BEST trip EVER!" So maybe I'm a bit of a drama queen but I can't help...I'm still caught up in the thrill of the adventures that I just had. For days, even weeks, afterward I dream about the food, the architecture, the people...To say that there is a favourite is impossible...


If I had to, however, choose one place to visit again and again and again...hands down, without a moments hesitation, I would choose ITALY! There is nothing that I don't love about that country. It has it all, and no matter how many times I go, I always find something new that I love...


MY DREAM DESTINATION...


Egypt. It is on my 'bucket list"...


WHY DID I CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRAVELS IN E-DUCATION ONLINE LEARNING OPPORTUNITY...


I want to be as effective as possible in the classroom. Students are obssessed with technology and I want to tap into their interests by delivering engaging lessons using different formats and tools. "Everyone's doing it", I want to too!

  2. I got attracted to yer choice of word...
    "obsessed" ...with technology.

    Yup.

    It is amazing how 'connected' people in general are with each other due to technology.

    ... YET... how disconnected they are.

    The father that video's his daughters dance reherasal... does he experience the event or is he capturing it?

    The individual sitting with their pal.. apparently chatting yet engrossed in a text conversation with someone else.

    My question is .. do we embrace this type of behaviour/communication or scold it?

    ?

  3. And do we have these sorts of conversations with other people in our lives - friends, spouses, colleagues, students? Can we distinguish between relationships that support our need for physical human contact and those that don't? Are our connections here less real because we've never met face-to-face, or are they more real because we can share thoughts without the baggage that goes with position, gender, age, etc.?
