Finally we are out of MT TOT on ICT in HE at DET, SNDT, Juhu campus as students. We went back to our older routines- classes and classes, paper setting, assignments, assessments, administration. Its going to be a month for the training and the teacher-Dr Jayashree Shinde had to remind the bunch of 24 teachers that the HOMEWORK post-training was due for submission. This blog itself was born out of the compulsion to do the home work. Since it was almost a month that i last wrote, am pushing myself to create this follow up.
Blogging is exciting provided am all kicked to express- ventilate-vomit my emotions/reactions/feelings. It is fun if 'am here to show off that i know' and tell the world that 'i exist'. This blog post was a compulsion of home work so a student is always a student. S/he wants to disobey, want to question, want to look for shortcuts. ICT is a great help as it provided lot of copy-paste provided you have time. TIME is a commodity at premium at this point in my life. May be the same would not be the case in the years to come. At the moment there are too many demands from my eight year-old who wants all the attention. She thinks that i am giving more time to computer than to her. And there are times when she is excited to experiment what she learnt in her school computer class on home computer and i have time to myself.
This post at this point turned out to be non-ICT nature. But it came out of the concept that we teachers when became students/participants to ICT workshop, we are doing all those things that our students do to us. Look for shortcuts, try and finish fast, give execuses for not doing the work, avoid giving 100% at that point as there are other pre-occupations.
Anyways, teachers can be bad students. i am the example. But for now have finished my homework. i was supposed to fomr a group and invite members. Out of my 24 invitations- only three responded. So, what will ICT do in HE if teachers dont do their homework. i can imagine the problems- lack of access, absence to time, ignorance of process, lack of interest, absence of priority.....am waiting my collegues to accept my invitations. The yahoo group of sndtjuhuteachers have yet to become reality!!
