May I inform ALL DC 1 bloggers that we cannot yet upload to the moodle (elearn.xu.edu.ph) the reports I told all MDG reporters to upload there--- I was informed that the whole XU internet system is experiencing a slowdown/ or slow connections/ no connection ... and this affects all our communication here!
I will then consider your uploads of reports till Friday of this week Nov. 28, and hopefully, our Internet bles will be solved by then( or before that even!)
So much for e-learning and the Internet--- it is bane and not a boon in these times when learning is supposed to be both virtual and physical...
welcome to our developing world's problems, which include not only the MDG, but also the world of the Internet- which tilts efficiency and ease of communication in favor of developed countries.
Technology, i may say, is still in favor of those in Power.
But we still have people power! So take heart...we can still make/ create Change...
Yes, we can!!

my blog is communication and communication is...
I am amazed at the show of talent, or in some, a non-show of it, but in any which way, I liked what i saw- and I mean the blogs of my students now linked to me, and in a way, linking our many pursuits together...
this is an online journey, it is much like a march- like an assemblage of varied characters walking together towards a path-- and where will that path lead to?? this we can see as we uncover every week the postings of my blog links here and see how much each of us- teacher and student, person and person, human and human, are in every way different, yet in one way common, and here, in this virtual world, we will attempt to find a commonness...
that is what COMMUNICATION is all about- a commonness of meaning or meanings, arrived at some point in each other's sharing, and living in one world- virtual, or otherwise ( in here or there..
let us start the journey now...

A BLOG FOR MY STUDENTS
This blog is dedicated now for my students this semester. I have asked each of them to make a blog and makethe blogger our virtual classroom... so now I am starting off for them to see my posts.
It is the start of the 2nd semester, and the start again of new set of students with new expectations and new learning curves. My two sets of students are on two sides of the academic pole- one set are the new majors, just starting to learn about communication and development, and on the other side are the seniors, all grounded and maybe, calloused, in the teachings on comm and development!!!
This would make for quite an interesting 5 months..,watch out for my posts.
