Reflectingon my first session and reading.

Thought I signed up unwittingly for a wrong course. The title suggests Classroom Learning Environment but what I learnt was Wiki, google.doc, facebook and blogging. It was like a crash course on all the Web 2.0 tools that I have heard about but did not really have the time to venture. Glad to have the opportunity to get my hands dirty and explore the tools.

I guess to initiate to use these tools, I would need to build up my confidence in using it. Only after that, then perhaps I would like to learn how to teach my students to learn using them.

Things looks better after I read the readings......so maybe it is not just Web 2.0 stuff but the actual learning enviroment for my students...the Classroom learning Enviroment. Guess I am happy because I can see the possibility of using what is taught here to improve on my teaching. It is also useful for me to use theories that I gather here to guide newer colleagues in the area of classroom management. From my observations, teachers who usually have problem with classroom management usually either lack the pedagogy competencies or have not establish a conducive learning enviroment, For me it is easy because, I am *ahem* the DM :P. Think certain roles in the school has its privileges.

Lots of readings.....lots of instruments used.......would like to know how to create such robust instruments.......
