Yes, it is true, Generation C rejected me, or i just didn’t fit in well. Hmm…i have read many articles regarding the emergence of generation c and their preference of creating rather than just simply assuming knowledge [discovery learning and constructivist theory]. They have high computer technical abilities and are very familiar with Web 2.0. That is just some of the characteristics of this super race. But sadly, i cannot even transfer a simple blue tooth video to my computer. I know the theory of a lot of technical processes but fail to properly execute them.

I decided that instead of typing my blogs, i would podcast them or put an audio file onto the web. But two factors halted this process. One- i didnt have the cord to connect the phone to the computer, and secondly, i didnt know how to do this process without the cord…Hmmm. Lesson learnt= always make sure you have the right equipment and skills before attempting to try any e-learning tools!

I interviewed a few people at work regarding their knowledge, understanding and attitude towards e-learning and used the video camera on my phone to film it. One funny comment that regularly popped up from the interviewees was in regard to the content of the video…Typical conversation

[*All stressed out*] “Please please PLEASE do not show any one the video…how embarassing!”

Ok but i am going to put it on the net and not on private…

The interviewee begins to relax…”Oh well, its only the internet, no-one is going to look there!”

Ok, so they thought it would be less painful to post the video on the net rather than show it to a few people in the store based on the element of anonomynity and the distance between the two parties means that even if one person is laughing or doing something to hurt the person’s self belief, they are fine. I found that rather interesting. I would say that no i would rather not have it posted on the internet but shown to my friends but that is a complete lie. I would actually hate both. I found it quite scary that i found a file of photos that i had once put on the net but later taken off, still available. As can be said, once posted, lost in space. And i guess it is time for me to log off! Goodbye!
