My Possible Thesis Change - blogging

Finally I am doing something positive today for my study...

1. Wrote an email to my professor on the possible change of my research question form "learning and teaching through Play" (focus on children) to "learning and teaching through blogging" (focus on adult learners/teachers).
*my professor has just replied that he is in favour of the change, but confesses that he doesn't know much about blogging

2. Searched for more information on blogging, teaching, learning... and found the following useful and interesting sites:

Blogging for Teaching and Learning - "Why Blog?

Blogs and Blogging: A Homerun for Teaching, Learning, and Technology -

Blogs in Teaching and Learning - purpose of blog in promoting learning

Educational Bloggers Network - various educational blogs

Teaching Early Childhood Educators and Other Adults How to Use Computers - most teachers seldom use the computer/internet and are afraid of using it

Future of FLOSSE: Interview with Alan Levine - an interview with David Levine on the future trend of learning and teaching in education from 2006 to 2010

A Technology Rich Lesson-What Would it Look Like? - account of how teachers are not versatile with use of computer and internet, and strategies to help them use technology in the class rooms

The educated blogger: Using weblogs to promote literacy in the classroom - e.g. of blogs in practice for different age groups

Got My Draft Back

Phew! Finally got back my draft with comments...after more than 2 months of waiting. Actually there was a miscommunication somewhere that has caused the delay.

Anyway, need to do a quick amendment and submit my final work soon and then start doing my next assignment, which would be due in 2 months' time.

Wish me, wish me all the best. :)

My Wish List - My Study

Wow! Haven't been blogging here for awhile... that means... erm... too many 'things' have prevented me from doing what I'm suppose to do. *making excuses*

Well two days ago I just penned down my "Wish List" (first time I ever do this)...

1. A free, nice, new, Homepage header - waited since Mar 05
(one kind soul, my new friend T, has offered to do this for me... hopefully over this weekend... thank God! also thanks to T!)

2. SE K750i or better - waited since before launch in June 05, but have decided to give the money to somebody who needs it more than me

3. 12" iBook or PowerBook - no money to buy now, but hope to have it one day

4. Finish all my study module assignments by this year end

5. Complete my Thesis in 2007 - latest completion date is actually 2009, but I don't want to wait so long and waste my tuition fees
(the same kind soul, friend T, has offered to pray for me DAILY to be able to be on target in finishing my course... yes, I really need all the support... thanks T!!)

6. Go to heaven ASAP - then I don't need all the above... hehe

So here it goes.... I will try to catch up with completing my assignments... that means I better spend less time on the net?

Seriously I am thinking of changing my thesis to "Learning through blogging" 'cos that's how I have personally learnt so many things through blogging over the last 2 years. If I don't use it for my research, it seems to be such a waste. I need to consult my professor about this first.

That's all for now...

My Tutor gone MIA

It's been 1.5 month already, but my tutor still have not returned my assignment draft, and I have heard nothing from him... wondering what's going on. He is MIA?
