This Blog............................... has been ever consuming with moments of pride and joy and complete chaos. On a collaborative scale it has been minimal, with only a few followers and real connectivism. Personally I have learned a lot more technical applications (still not quite there) with the in's and out's of scaffolding my Blog as such and creating meaning with the course content. Though it seems to be another page in the ether's of cyber space. I have followed a handful of people that I met on residency and have not found the time to connect with everyone on the course. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow...............mmm this looks a bit like my concept map hee hee!!
Hi Debra. Good to see you taking some time out on Saturday night :o)
ReplyDeleteJust as you've read other people's blogs, I'm sure that more people than you think have actually been to visit here. 139 visits when I commented today. Is connectivism going on, but perhaps just not being evidenced?
It doesn't surprise me that there is not much interaction taking place on your blog, or on anyone else's (I suspect you left few if any comments on other's blogs, for example), for a number of reasons.
Firstly, as you say, yours is just one more page in the masses of information out there. Secondly, your particular audience is rather busy at the moment, getting the hang of their own learning, with little time to reflect and engage too much on their cohorts' learning. Finally, perhaps the wikis are the space for the real collaborative efforts, the blogs being more of a space for personal reflection?
Keep the faith, keep the pride and keep entertaining us, please.
:o)
