Lifelong informal learning/sharing in action
This morning I had a very inspirational learning moment(s). I quickly hopped on my laptop to check my e-mail when one of the teachers from the Champions-4-ICT community “popped up” in my chat window. We started chatting about Moodle and Joomla and I remembered another one of the teachers asking me about Moodle. As she happened to be checking her e-mail as well and was online, I added her to the conversation and we all then shared a learning/sharing moment of collaborative learning! which made me realise that the future is about informal learning opportunities. (see chat: chat-moodle.txt)
During the discussion we realised that we did not have all the answers and varying degrees of expertise, but concluded that we will figure it out together! And then, while we were chatting, I found that I have just received an e-mail advising me that a slideshow has been posted to my slideshare space. The slideshow was about how Moodle can jumpstart learning. Now how is that for “on demand” learning?

Some of the ideas from this slideshow also provided me with the connection of why web 2.0 is such a great vehicle for dynamic learning. And it made me realise what sharing can do. A domino effect of learning…
This is the most exciting time to be in education! So many toys, and they call it educational!! Never thought learning can be so much FUN!!
I am absolutely thrilled to read this just in time learning moment. Thank you for including me in the excitement!
