Welcome to the Media and ICT for Teaching

Greetings All :)

this is a blog established as a way of communicating between the class members, that will include me. Here, you may be able to comment on your friends' assignments and give feedback to whatever we're doing in the classroom.

mind you, some discussion page needs to be set up for the class.
we use different platforms, this blogger is one of them. the others are yahoogroups and nicenet.
it's probably gonna be a bit complicated to open so many pages on the same time, especially if you have connection problems
however, i believe, everybody can adjust hence familiarizing themselves to the internet, especially in this wide spreading technological era.

I really hope everybody can keep up with what's going on in the classroom.

you will find our syllabus, some files and links included in the yahoogroups

try to explore and have fun :)
