Trigger and few other things… July 1, 2008

Tuesday, Week 2nd
Today I enjoyed presentations of photo stories of my colleagues a lot! All of them (us) did excellent job for only one day. I was impressed by drawing attention on few normal things such as toilet, sink or trash can. We take lots of things for granted. I also learned about difficulties for understanding cultural habits of European people. I feel the same but in less drastic way. I like that kind of learning. I always compare my habits and culture to the country I am in.
My group made photo story about comparison of traditional and digital libraries and about changing environment. We got good feedback from professor and colleagues. We made few mistakes but the whole group is happy and satisfied with the result.
Beside this part, we did more (b)logging with professor Tord and I subscribed on rss feed to all blogs from my classmates. I like that a lot. It is easy to track changes and see what other people have to say about their day and learning process. Again I can compare what was new for other people and see which part was useful for others as it was for me.
Before I came to Oslo, I didn’t want to finish my official blog because I wasn’t sure about the structure and some other things. Now, I am thinking about it a lot and I think that I will do it before I go back home.
We also had lecture from Mr. Lars about distinction between information, knowledge and learning. We all agreed about definitions, although some of us have different perspectives according to these subjects. We had a little problem with questionnaire which wasn’t usable but thanks to smartboard Mr. Lars continued writing on it instead of showing us our definitions. That turned to be interesting, too.
Mrs. Kristin talked about trigger. I have never heard about it before. We also got few tips about triggers from technical aspect. It looks good theoretically but tomorrow we have to do it in practice. It will be totally new experience for me because I never used camera by myself.
We are working in groups again but with few new members. We were discussing our theme. I think the idea is quit good. We’ll wait and see what will happen tomorrow. I have learned a lot today, again. And I like that feeling.
Looking forward to see and participate in making trigger.

Monday, Week 2nd
This is second week at LATINA Course. Since now I have learned a lot. From blogging to logging. I met people from different cultures and I realized that we are very difficult group to teach.
We have different teachers with different styles but all of them are doing their best to teach us new things. I never used Picasa and Photo Story and I like what I have learned. I never thaught that I can use blog in teaching. Last week I made my own blog and I am proud of it. I would like to make blogs for each part of my courses that I am teaching.
I like the way we are thaught. We never get everything finished. We have to explore tools and environment by ourselves and we have support all the way.
The hardest thing for me today was working in groups without knowing the language of my group collegues. It was difficult to explain and to understand. But, in the end, everything turned fine.
