Let's Wrap up the First Week with Some Reflections!

The first week passed with some ups and downs.At the first part  I felt nervous with the feeling as if I was suffocating into the lake with no idea to get out. Some of the tasks I accomplised easily but  in some tasks I am still confused.Laughable! I went through the website of our course and let into the nicenet world to join the class.The key was already with me. I opened the door and entered into the class. I visited friends there.I involved myself in the discussion topics. My instructor had already instructed me to go through the course intensively.But  I was hurried to enter the class soon without going through it deeply.However, I knew the disscussion threads which I could not find there.After 4 days of joining the class, I came to know that the class I was joining was the Spring Webskill class, a pseudo class for me. Then, I hurriedly came out and entered into Summer class. The first week of the class was about to over. Almost of the discussion threads were completed  from my friends' side.I was nervous but controlled myself and started my tasks hurriedly. With nervous mind and tensed psychology,I completed my tasks roughly.
 Similar experience I earned when I entered into the blogger world. I entered from the main gate but comfused to go further. Followed the Throndike's learning theory of "Trial and Error" I am now in this stage,somehow relaxed.I have created the blog and sharing my learning experiences with you all.Thank you Donna and all my e-friends for bringing me out of suffocation. Let's say farewell to the first week and wel-come to next.

Huh! Oh, Aha!

Dear all,
This is my blog. I want to share my week- 1 reflection through it.Please see and comment.
  Before the course began,Donna Shaw,my Instructor provided me introduction of the entire course.In its first appearance I found the course like a multi -gated palace to let into different chambers and the well woven tapestry of the course. In fact, I found myself puzzled for it.Then automatically the word 'Huh' came out for my lack of understanding but Donna,I found her very much helpful and friendlier as well. I am now at the stage of Oh! as I am crawling for learning with my great effort. I hope I will say Aha after the course because Donna is with me and all my friends as well. In this context, I want to mention Prof.John Fanselow's view on learning-"The more the teacher/instructor can provide the participants with the means to resolve puzzles on their own by making use of their previous experience and predicting skills, the more likely their Huh will be followed by Aha." It is true for me with little understanding and also hope for Aha after the completion of my all the tasks.
