Faculty Workshop

Workshop

We met on Monday, July 2nd at 9 am, and the Vice Rector came, opened the seminar. I learned that the University is requiring professors to put their course online by November. Most of professors use e-mail, and many of them know how to use Office. I introduced Web 2.0 tools. They also created iGoogle homepage, and then they personalized their homepage by adding calendar, clock, etc. Electricity went out several times during the morning session. They also learned what are the RSS feeds. They subscribed to my blog site and this seminar site, which I created with Wetpaint wiki. They learned the difference between Bookmarks and Goggle Reader.

On Tuesday, July 3rd, everyone created their own Blog account with Blogger, and then wrote about what they learned yesterday. They also created an account to manage and sharing photos using Flickr.

July 4th. Rwandans are celebrating their Liberation Day. School was closed, and shops in town also were closed. It was very nice to take a break from intense schedule. The workshop begins at 9 and stops at 5, but I usually linger around little bit longer.

Yesterday, we had a very interesting discussion about recommendations to make to VRAC so that the knowledge and skills acquired during workshops could have a visible impact on the teaching and learning process in our university. Wonderful ideas !!!!
