I don't think we keep ourselves "locked away" in the f2f context - so is this really any different? <BR/><BR/>You could say in the online context students have more power to turn you off - or ignore you or opt away from you if they are bored by you than in a f2f situation?<BR/><BR/>I think they need some kind of experience of you as human in either context? Or maybe its not a need as such - but doesn't it make everyones experience of the learning relationship a bit more pleasant (depends on your personality maybe?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-67905181731424034712008-03-23T16:43:00.000+11:002008-03-23T16:43:00.000+11:00Actually, Leigh, I have been thinking a little mor...Actually, Leigh, I have been thinking a little more about this. I am a student of yours and I know you have an extensive online presence. But apart from what I have had to do as part of my course, like looking at your blog, I haven't wanted to browse around your other sites like Flickr. Somehow it feels like intruding. Even looking at your del.icio.us references and networks feels a little like I am stalking. That's weird? Do our students feel like that. Or maybe, they don't have time to do that kind of surfing? Or maybe, they are just not interested in what we do in our private lives? And telling them about our Easter isn't going to make us any less boring in the classroom?Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-11328544117336126802008-03-23T16:39:00.000+11:002008-03-23T16:39:00.000+11:00I agree-I haven't developed my online identity for...I agree-I haven't developed my online identity for students either. It's about my own learning and my interactions with the wider community, especially midwifery community. But as I said in my post, I am beginning to see how what I am doing online links in with my students in the F2F context. <BR/><BR/>Like you, I have had absolutely interaction with my current students through things like Facebook or even this blog. So that begs the question: do students really want to connect with us online or this that something we have made up?Sarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-46902613879084729642008-03-23T16:10:00.000+11:002008-03-23T16:10:00.000+11:00I pretty much have everything about myself online....I pretty much have everything about myself online.. certainly not for my students (the teachers at OP that is), at least not primarily. I have the things about me online for me mostly, for my friends and family, to meet new people and to learn new things. If my students find this engaging and helpful to what they are trying to learn from me then great. But so far I get very little indication that my students spend much time looking through my online presence much at all.. which is kind of dissapointing even if I'm not doing it for them..Leigh Blackallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845313396595646728noreply@blogger.com
