Yesterday while I researching for a blog entry, I came upon this blog, EFFTIPS, that has some information about the topic I am trying to write about. I decided to subscribe this blog as I thought it would be helpful to me as a novice in e-learning.
The first email feed I received in this blog was a blog entry welcoming new visitors and subscribers from New Zealand. Well, I assumed that was me and in no time I was busy replying and posting my comment. I expressed my heartfelt thanks for acknowledging me and I did a bit of explaining how I stumbled upon their site. I also mentioned about this paper, AUT and the Masters in Adult Literacy and Numeracy.
Again, within a few minutes, Duren, the EFF Online Technical Support person, replied back and requesting us to be blog participants! This blog site is in its pilot stage and I see this as an opportunity for all of us to actually do a 'hands-on' online collaboration activity.
That would be awesome! What do you think everyone?

Hello, eWorld!
About three or so years ago, I've been receiving a lot of emails from friends inviting me to "facebook". I do not have any idea what facebook is all about and I do not have enough motivation to try it as well. However, these emails became like 'pests' in my email in my inbox and no matter how many times I delete those facebook invitations, it seems that they are not going anyway soon. So I decided to confront facebook and tell "it" to stop bothering me.
To cut the story short, I ended up signing up so I would know what this facebook is (and why are my friends keep on inviting me to join this network). It took me a while to fully understand the purpose of facebook and I could not believe the enormous empire that was built through this social network site.
Well, I equate this new blogging experience for me to that of my experience with facebook. I am not really a writer person - I am more of a reader. I also don't think I have the ability to become a decent blogger. Sure, everyone can become a blogger, you say. Well I just hope you are right :)
My name is Honey and this is my first blogging attempt.
I'm currently working as the Project/Funding Coordinator of a community group called Migrant Action Trust, a grass-roots based organisation assisting migrants and refugees successfully settle in New Zealand.
I do love tinkering around the internet but I never really thought of harnessing the power of the Net to gain formal learning. I am quite excited (and afraid at the same time) to know more about on-line learning since the way I see it, it is the only way to go. Who knows maybe in the near future, physically attending "real schools" may only be a thing of the past.
