Warna's top 10 hits

Blogs...I used to have one back when they first rose to popularity. It lasted for about two weeks before I forgot about it completely. I guess I never really put in the level of commitment require to keep it up. I never felt the need to express all my thought via the internet. Now we have the new social networking mediums to do this in, like Face Book. Social networking media has definitely had it time in the spot light. For me it lasted way longer than two two weeks of blogging did. However, the shininess has worn off for me cause let's face it who really needs to read updates about how mundane people's life are. I should be doing more productive things than posting an update about how good the bagel I just ate was.

So the big question would be "Why the blog? Why now?" One of the goals of the class I am taking - the Diploma in University Teaching - is to integrate technology into eduction. And to point out the obvious blogging is an interesting way of using technology to connect with students in a time when they are all addicted to the internet and social media avenues.

But I digress, the point of this exercise is to use the blog as an avenue to introduce myself to the class, not to give my opinion on blogging and social networking. And what better way to introduce myself to the world of blogging than to Google myself and tell you what I come up with.

So here are my top 10 hits

  1. Hi Warna,
    It was interesting to read about you - and what a beautiful photo of you and your husband. As you continue blogging at this spot how about letting us know what aspect/s of teaching and learning that want to talk more about and learn more about and maybe get our opinions on and the like.
