my reflective journal

I am a little confused about this afternoon as I missed the first part of this session and I feel that I have missed a lot.
This morning was interesting and confirmed some of my ideas about e-learning. I thought that I wanted to interject at points but it did not seem an appropriate time to do so. I made notes about my thoughts and comments but it seemed that time was of the essence so there was no time for comments or questions.
I was rather nervous about the presentation that I had to do about community, self and identity but it went relatively smoothly. I anticipated having to start again many times but this did not happen.
I am hoping that KlasGoren will assist me with the pieces of information that I missed.
This is teaching me a lot because I now see how frustrating it is for students when they get left behind or when the instructor goes too quickly. I feel fortunate that we get one-to-one assistance at UWC but as director of teaching and learning in the institution and as a person who has a lot to do with the e-learning team, I realise that this is an unrealistic scenario at the institutional level unless many more resources are devoted to e-learning.
I am still feeling very shaky with these new technological tools like blogger but I am excited at the potential of these tools and their ability to give me access to relevant sources and information in the future.
