L2eL - Learning to e-Learn

Why am I blogging?

Well I thought it was about time I experienced what it is like to create and maintain an online presence.  Figures banded about seem to indicate that approaching 3/4s of teenagers have an online presence, many of them blogging. 

Working with schools and students, I felt it was difficult to talk convincingly about blogs, wikis, web2.0, social networking and current trends in the use of the internet without exploring it for myself.

What am I going to do with my blog?

I regularly find web tools, software, websites and other instruments that help learners get more out of online environments. 

I’m a bit like a magpie when it comes to technology and the web - anything new and shiny impresses me.

I thought I would  use my blog to record the things I find and my thoughts on using this tools to support learning.   I called the blog ‘Learning to e-Learn’ because I work with schools supporting e-learning.  The web is evolving and the ways we can use it as learners is changing.  I hoped that at some point I would be able to use this space to document some thoughts on e-learning.  I haven’t decided if the ‘e’ stands for enjoyable or electronic yet!

I hope to post about once a week - but I’m prepared to disappoint myself.
