Wazz up with Open Education

This Mozilla Open Education course , was a great way to connect me again to the academe industry. A perfect way to blend my education and technology background. It's true you never get old when we talk about learning. Especially this whole concept of Open learning and pedagogy. The Open pedagogical thing just impresses me and takes much more of my time. I'm thinking how this OER(Open Educational Resources) are viewed in the developing country?. Like us in the Philippines, the educational system is very much govern by traditional educators. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really, saying that there's no hope for them to be open in this kind of Open pedagogical learning.

Let's see when this awareness happens ..who knows...maybe sooner...;) hope this cloud that's into my mind will pour so...

An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...
