That it is something beyond the realms of my teaching-- for others yes, but not me!
I guess, it was because I was afraid to venture, try and explore until I tire
Guess what? This is how I learned: exhaust one's time, give one's all
This is going beyond the blackboard.
This is social media at work
in the system of learning
doing and being of the teachers: the digital migrants
in a classroom filled with geeks, digital natives themselves!
However, there are those who have abused
the use of social-networking. This is quite sad, but
one that "teachers"have to address especially in
the exercise of responsibility and freedom.
T - Trial and error it was for me
for there's no other way
to learn but do
and go for it
E - Evernote and dropboxwere the firsts of my pals
files and links...
shares movies
and pix
C -Cheers I'd go
boosting myself
for I've hurdled a baptism
I dare repeat
H- Humbling an experiencestrengthening the spirit
to prod on, continue
'til the sun is up or down
N- Now, braced with the skill
still unsure of the prompts
takes awhile to master
practice is the key
O - Over and over the practice trick is
post, upload, tag...edit
check like, comment and take
quick tests of the skill
L- Log on and sit downsign up, pass--word
blog, prezi-techie
learning is fun!
G- Great is the experience
useful and practical for class
beyond the blackboard, erasing its chalks
turning on the screen, surfing, linking, teaching!
Y - Years and years it'll be
with echoes of our voices, shadows of our doodles
still going beyond what we can, hurdling barriers
enjoying, exploring, learning...using technology as the key
Together with TEaCHers humanizing the world!
