Now, E-Learning and digital cultures is a course I'm taking on coursera, and a lot of people had said the information is overwhelming, and yes, it is. The thing is, that's the world now. I have a little sister, she's 15 and she uses thousand different account, she has e-mail, facebook, instagram, blog, and uses blackberry, laptop and Ipod. Not every kid in Bogotá (Colombia) have all that, but many kids do. So, maybe is too much, but students live in that world whether we want to be part of it or not. We need to be part of that if we want to have student's attention.
The problem is that most of us don't use many of the options here. Not everyone has twitter, or have it, but don't know how that works. For me, for example, is the first time on Google hangouts, and I got to say I'm a little lost, I'm just watching the video. YouTube channel? I don't even knew about it, until I read someone blog. And, of course, the I-don't-know-how-many forums about videos, the class, etc. It's too much in too little time. But, come on, we can do this, we need an open mind, we need to relax and start to think as part of this digital world. It won't be easy, but it's not impossible.
