Learning in communities, networked

I remember my collaborative learning only from high school, and it isn’t good memory, because as students we needed to do a common work in group of 4-5 students, while my colleagues worked at the same time and as usual there where no time, so, I had “more” time and I did almost all work alone… Because to work alone is much faster. While on other hand I remember how we revised for the higher mathematics exam: we were sitting at our houses, read our notes, and if something was not clear – calling by wired phone to each other and consulted. All night… Exam was successful! Later on I would say it was collaborative work rather than collaborative learning, as we started to write different projects: study and scientific ones. The first real collaborative work, from which I have learned a lot was when we created an international study program. I was a leader, but I had no practice on it. Therefore during that time we had many meetings, sit together and thinking what and how to do and writing.

My own Personal Learning Network is Google. Everything I need – I ask him. About illnesses, recipes for the dinner and for the winter goodies, small works and etc. I have many books what and how to cook/prepare, but it takes time to find what you want. Much faster it is to find in the internet. The last my training is snowflakes. You can enjoy them below. Thanks to internet! And open people, who shared their knowledge. It is really nice that people write their opinion about many many thinks, starting from small things, finishing about medics and that everybody can read and had an opinion. I still wrote only ones – an advice from my practice with the baby what to do and how to avoid an operation of navel rupture. I don’t know if I am going to sit more in the social media and write something, because there are plenty of information without mine opinion.

At the university we have Moodle system, where all teachers must put their lectures, however, only few percent did it. I also do not. While during this course I started to think differently and I understood that it is really good way to give information to the students and control their work. There are more good opportunities, however it takes time to learn it. So, next step – going deeper into the Moodle.
