Time really flies. It is now 8.30 pm Wednesday 31 Mar 2010, the 11th and second last lesson of this 12-lesson module which commenced (it seemed) an eternity ago.
What had changed?
For sure, my fear of anything digital has taken a back seat..."He is definitely not a brave man who knows no fear and that's not because it doesn't exist but rather he knew how best to handle it."
Knowing what caused the fear in the first place helps...
By the same token, since embarking on this Module, I did quite a bit of reading on 'anything digital' and I dare boast that during the last 3 months or so, it would be difficult for any article in The Straits Times with the word 'digital' to escape the scrutiny of my eyes.
Having Dr Philip Towndrow and Dr Mark Nelson as joint-facilitators proved to be the good fortune of the students as the lecturers very carefully and subtly planned each lesson to enable all the students to have maximum hands-on contact, supported by a wealth of literature on what else? but topics related to Digital Literacy, of course!...to be continued.

Hi Wilson!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about how fast time flew for this module. It is really heartening to read that your "fear of anything digital has taken a back seat"....I mean you managed to work on your DST and write a blog entry about the same time (8.30pm!!) :) while I was able to handle just the DST bit!
I'm in agreement too about the reading up or stopping to read anything digital!
And yes, we are indeed fortunate as you mentioned.
All the best!
The marvellous thing in this module to me is the critical thinking on the technology and how to use it effectively. The meaning of being educated is to realize my own mistakes. I do have seen a lot.
