Week 4 Reflections: Upgrading 1.0 Teachers

This week's readings have given me many things to think about. Prior to attending PhD program at FSU, I was a professor at Universitas Indonesia, the oldest public university in the country, at which I had been teaching for 6 years. I realized I was very traditional when it comes to pedagogical approaches. I had never really given a thought that I could integrate the use of social media/other Web 2.0 tools for improving learning experience (well, at least not in formal learning environment).

Not only the readings, the past four weeks have inspired me with so many ideas to integrate Web 2.0 once I am back teaching after completing the degree. I would like to specifically highlight the framework from Dabbagh and Kitsantas (2012), which I thought would be very helpful for upgrading 1.0 teachers like me :)
