Dear Readers...
An amateur blogger passing by... and here to stay!!! Welcome to my very first blog... thanks to QED522 module in NIE... And that explains the interesting name of this blog... FORQED!!! Please dun use it in any vulgar sense... it's read (to me if it does exist as a word) as "FORKED". Meaning I was arrowed to do this... and it so happen that I am struggling right now with a thorn in my flesh... so here I am, Forked... Forqed.
But on a serious note, I do agree with NIE's view that teachers have become digital/IT immigrants, where now the 18yr-olds and below are the digital/IT-savvy residents while we teachers-to-be are lagging behind quite a bit. Haha, the present generation of students probably would have baulked at us only becoming bloggers at the grand old age of 25! So here we are, on a mission to not only catch up, but to be at the cutting edge, preparing our students and lending them confidence to thrive in the age where technological literacy is fast becoming a basic requirement for survival in the ever-changing world of today.
It's gonna be fun sharing my thoughts with you about how we are going to achieve that via this module... but I won't be sharing just that, bits and pieces of my thoughts, feelings, visions and dreams will also be released... so do look out for more from the amateur blogger who's just a tad over-excited about the fact he just had his first blog!!!
Tsk... my family doc just described my 'newest' hairstyle as a pyramid! oh well.... time for reflections... =)
