And for This semester I decided to start up a social network for all my students. The name of the network is [Fusionists]!
I wanted to come up with a theme that will reflect on the experience, the spirit and the outcome of this network... So fusion as an act and with all of its derivatives seemed as a good starting point.
In this network students will upload their assignments, photos, videos and share stuff from the web as well... in this way the learning experience extends from being a one way channel between the instructor and students into something more flexible and definitely multichannel.
Again the learning experience goes beyond the class time... and in a less formal context...
This is just a prototype that I'm suggesting and will be monitoring to see how this idea can evolve into a real interactive learning experience...
I'm really excited about this idea and hope that it will prove a success...
I have to thank Ning for making it so easy to create a social network... and I'm grateful for the power of the Internet... for freeing some minds and trying to eliminate stupidity...
I wish all the best of luck in the new semester... and I wish you [Fusion]... =)
