Design students Oct 09 batch had their 2nd day of EIR today. Wow, I am impressed with these students' perserverance in class this morning. Despite the super-long session, all of them attentively listened to what I had to say. I really spoke alot today to revise what was missed during the 1st day of class and continue with the ice-breaking activities.
Yo, we achieved quite a bit today. Students had completed their EIR blogs and started working on Practical 1&2. We talked about lectures 1 & 2 and students had chosen their research topic. They also started tweeting and followed me on www.twitter.com/eirtweets. I also shared photos of EIR seniors on EIR facebook. Yes, we have expanded EIR curriculm this sem to include more Web 2.0 kewl tools. Its really exiciting!
However, block teaching can be quite challenging at times but the benefits can be reaped faster. It also requries lots of discipline, dedication and perseverance. As I always told my students "No pain, No gain" and if you love what you do, you will forget about the pain that goes along to gain success at the end of this module.
So my dear students, hang on there, you are doing great. We will journey through EIR together and you will reap success by the end of this block.
Keep blogging and tweeting! Look forward to meeting you tomorrow.
Your EIR tutor and fren,
Farida
