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. This is just a matter of creating an awareness and feeding them information. I believe they will definitely get involve and embrace this change in the Philippine education. Let's see when this awareness happens ..who knows...maybe sooner...;) hope this cloud that's into my mind will pour sooner.

Read more about this here as I talk on Open learning and pedagogy .

There are so many new things to learn, this whole Open learning and pedagogy, new way to create content and website via Drupal and mixing and re-mixing profit and non-profit kind of business. Goodluck, :) but really with all these new technologies arising for the 21st century will just either gave us an information over load or a new opportunity to explore on. My call ...and your call.:)

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. 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...

"Philippine Hospitality" is on TWB(Teacherswithoutborders)

Philippine Hospitality is one of the characteristic that stands out among Filipinos. This is a common trait that Filipinos are known for, especially to most foreigners who have traveled around the country. They will even go out of their way to ensure guest feels comfortable. I remember my mom would have a set of towels, blankets and other stuff prepared and reserved for visitors, given that we don't have much of those for us to use. But it is a primary and mandatory custom. Although we are not the only people in the world who can be friendly and welcoming, but this characteristic is exceptional among us. Actually, there's no country in Southeast Asia where foreigners are so well welcomed as in the Philippines . I know, Thailand , Japan or China are also hospitable, but remain distant. Compare to the Filipino hospitality where in our smile is not politely distant, it is spontaneous and from the heart. What really makes "Philippine Hospitality" exceptional? Here ...

US Political Candidates "Quote an Quote"...

As I read and listen to their speeches and promises ... :) I can say that politics is the same anywhere and everywhere it's all about P.O.L.I.T.I.C.S...O_o and I thought of capturing some of the quotes that really caught my attention... "I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country."- Sarah Palin “But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all."– Sarah Palin "Authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform." – Sarah Palin " This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory; except when he’s talking about his own campaign." - Sarah Palin “In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, who use their careers to promote change. – Sarah Palin "No success has come without a good fight." - John McCain ...

A whole new world!
