My name is Hala Fawzi, an English language teacher and a webhead. I am involved in blended learning, online learning and the use of Web 2.0 tools in teaching, learning and for teacher professional development. I am interested in exploring the learning opportunities that offered to us, in limited technology countries, through the connections available in this networked world.
By coming here, I hope to find a better view for what I have been wondering about for a while: I wonder about connectivism and learning in developing countries: what is the effect of connectivism on the individual/citizen level?? As we don’t wait for the system to respond, (to George if he is reading this), I wonder about how can a personal change, because of connectivism, lead to a change in a society? How can we convince “the system “that connectivism can help in fighting poverty or illiteracy? Which is more important in a less networked country; “the content or the pipes”? Can the pipes be used for a better quality of a content, or can the content lead to better created pipes? Can one pipe be stretched or widened to hold more assorted content? What can be done to the pipes that are subject to switching off by authorities in the name of filtering the content? How can I, as a teacher/individual respond; negatively?? Positively? Ignoring(ly)? Look for other unfiltered pipes?
Looking forward to an inspiring course!
