Educational Blogging

This is a short presentation on Educational Blogging. The contents here are partly my views and partly borrowed views that I thought are meaningful. This is part of the presentation of Meena Adhikari who is having 2 weeks aynchronous event on Educational Blogging. I would recommend viewers to go to the following link.

I prepared this presentation as a guest speaker, thanks Meena Adhikary for the invitation. I hope I did justice to the topic I was supposed to speak about.

Thank you for your presentation Jagadish, It wasn't really thinking of youtube as a learning tool until recently.

I also like your background music...forbidden game havent heard it for quite sometime.

I agree on the point that it gives time for the learner to a reflective thinking. Which I suppose the deepest level of learning.

thank you.. I am glad that u loved the background music.

I agree on your point that it results in a deepest level of learning. But, to point a loose end here, it might make education virtually unbounded to time and thus might impose challenge to a time-constrained learning.

I also think that informal learning is a great learning model. The only issue is: can it replace the formal educational model or can it just be used as an add-on to what is regarded as a conventional education?

I am an advocate of open education and informal learning. The challenge for formal education is to work how how to reconise informal learning eg how would you give credit for the learning done on a blog?

I like your question about informal learning, is this a benefit or an issue? I think there is a whole discussion to be had around that one point. This would be interesting to pursue. A bit like online versus face to face. Great explanation of educational blogging. Thanks!

Hello Jagadish, thank you very much for the presentation - it was very clear and beautifully presented.

Can I ask about the 'digital natives' concept, that young people are more ready to blog because of their increased confidence with technology - how generalised do you think that is? My children who are 19 & 21 use Facebook and thats about it. The concept of blogging is one they'd be very uncomfortable with - are young people genuinely happy to blog or are we making a generalisation?

Okey, good. the selection of the contents, I must say, is well done taking the target into mind. The flow of the narration is no doubt good.

I like it in the whole.
