I am not much of social media user. My Facebook page is seldomly updated and my twitter posts are simply almost none in existence.
I was first introduced to Hangouts, yet another one of hosts of Google free services for all to use in the middle of 2015 and the session was exhilarating and enjoyment to say the least. It was a direct connection through video stream with my wife and youngest son. The joy of their faces can clearly be seen, speaking to me and laughing together although we were in separate rooms of our own house. Yet, the service opened up possibilities to connect to loves ones, near or far through the use of the internet, streaming video and audio of familiar and loving faces on our computer screens.
However I was 're-introduced' with the Google Hangouts. This time it was a collaborative session between friends, trying to understand the technology and its use from the perspective of teaching and learning. It is yet another exhilarating moment where teacher and future students may teach and learn as well as interact with each other no matter where you are, as long there is a good connection to the internet.
Internet inadvertently, among the many mediacentric and information sharing functions already to many, is a strong tool for teaching and learning. It is hoped that many of us can benefit from its usefulness and make us all better persons for tomorrow.
With that, thank you for your visits and hope to see you again. Wassalam.
