I finally have my project underway, and it is coming along nicely. I have decided to do a blog on Decorative Expressions. The other day, I attended a meeting in which Distance Education was discussed intensively and there were several ideas for educational technology that were presented. The idea of Digital Imigrants was presented in this meeting, and I kept pondering throughout the meeting of discussions that we have had in this class on the idea that people of the older generation can adapt to technology the same way children that are raised with it can. I continued to think about the people I work with and how they are open to learning new types of technology, so I began to wonder how I could relate a final project to them. Nevertheless, I thought a blog would be so nice to develop as my project.
At the beginning of this week, I asked a few of my co-workers if they knew what a blog was and it was very interesting to discover that only one person out of the eleven people that I asked, knew about blogs. Therefore, I thought it would be very interesting to create a blog that includes my co-workers. With this, I will be able to defend my idea that the older generation can adapt to new techology.
With this new proposal, it took me a while of pondering on different ideas for a blog line. I wanted something that would be of interest and encourage feedback from readers. Finally after a few days of listing ideas, all of the decorating for the holidays inspired me to create a blog on Decorative Expressions. This blog opens up many windows for creative ideas, comments, and web links. I am very anxious to see the feedback that I get with this blog. This is definitely going to be an exciting project!
