Holistic Education

Welcome to my holistic approaches to information technology blog. The focus of this blog will be my journal reflections as I journey through my 8th M.Ed course at OISE - CTL 1799. The course is on the holistic approaches to information technology in education. The course explores ways in which holistic or aesthetic learning can be supported and enhanced by computer technology. Computer-supported environments and resources, e.g. Web resources for holistic or arts education, tools for creative expression, online communities of learners, Internet-based collaborative projects involving school children and professionals or inter-cultural exchanges.

So Far So Good

This is my first journal entry for my class. So far I have quite enjoyed exploring how to create this very blog as part of our first assignment. I actually started it on Monday but I was having too much fun with all of the settings and design that I ran out of time to actually journal! I can see why teachers would use this in their teaching and I am starting to think up some ideas for my classes in September. So far the people in the class seem to be your typical grad school keeners just like me. The one thing that is a bit difficult is the number of on-line webpages we need to navigate through for this class. There is a course web page, OISE blackboard and C2C. That's right - THREE DIFFERENT PAGES. It just seems like a lot of places to search for whatever it is we are supposed to be doing. It may be too early to say this but having all of your information on ONE location would probably be much easier. I have also completed the readings for this week and they were quite interesting. I also found that I have lots to comment on! Off to Blackboard, or is it C2C, or is it the course webpage to complete my posts.
