Okay here goes nothing.
After watching the George Siemens video for this week I was excited about the growing acceptance of distance education. One of the reasons for the growing acceptance of disantce educaiton is the advancement of communication ability. For as communication abilities rise the physical geographical space that separates students from eachother and the instructor is lessened. I know that through this program at Walden University I have increased my ability to communicate, for technologies as Skype were not even part of my reality and today it is a part of my every day vocabulary. Communication technologies have evolved from being limited to face-to-face interaction only to now being able to write letters, make a phone call, write an email, a text message or now even a Skype. Sites such as wikispaces, blog spots and online classrooms and class cafes all allow learners to have interactions with one another.
This is only a fraction of what I had before, but mental fatigue and frustration is limiting my ability to communicate right now. I will write more in a bit. DANG IT!
