WRITING MATTERS #11

Welcome Eng 204 Class

Gone or rather slowly going are the days of the " chalk and talk" method in education. We live in a continually advancing technological world, and whether we like it or not technology and education are the married couple which we, as a society must always keep up with in other to progress. Just as centuries ago the chalk and blackboard were the great technological advancements in education , today it is the computer and other similar devices. Why, therefore, should we fight the inevitable? Consequently, with this blog my aim is not solely to create an interactive environment where we student teachers can learn with and from each other but also to prepare us for our future roles as educators in this technological world. So begin the practice and blog away.
