Week: 1 Reflection on gettig started new journey on web skills

Dear all
          I would like to introduce myself. I am Krishna Prasad Parajuli from Gorkha, Nepal. I am lecture of English at Drabya Shah Multiple Campus Gorkha.I am Life Member  of Nepal English Language Teacher' s Association(NELTA).I am one of the  participants  of ' Web skills' course this year.
        Here is my first blog post. It is simple post.I hope I will learn  more complicated design in future.I am posting it a bit earlier because  I won't get access of Internet   for next few days  in my  village. I hope I will be able to read your message on cell phone.
       I heard about the e teacher course in 2011.I was excited to hear about it from some NELTA members.
I had to wait another two years for the course.Finally waiting was over on January 7.Though our journey formally started on January 7,I collected some ideas about the course  from  previous years  participants.
       I  created  my account on blogger few moths ago but I  didn't post any thing .I didn't have any reason for blogging. But when  I read  Campbell's ideas of blogging for learning as tutor blog,class blog and learners blog I am convinced  that blogging can be useful.I wonder what might be other possibilities.
       I am busy this week navigating different links, creating accounts ,posting,commenting,reading messages, editing own messages ,knowing new sites and tools. It is really nice to meet great people around the world having similar interest and dealing with similar problem in different contexts.I don't have any problems till now. Journey has just begun.There is long way to go.I am not alone .There are my inspiring helpful   instructor MS.Courtney and  dynamic participants  both from home and abroad.I have known some of participants from their posting. It was easier for me as I have winter holiday. I don't know what kept me online till midnight with out any complaints.My holiday will be over  next week.I know more challenging tasks are coming in  following weeks.I don't worry much because they will provide me opportunity to learn new things.

          Sometimes I worry if I can't meet the specified standards.This is my first online course. I don't  fear about making mistakes. No mistake,no learning.
              Please  feel free to comment me . There will be more posting next week.

  1. Dear Krishna,
    you blog looks really attractive. I have visited almost all Webskills participants' blogs and found that you managed to publish the most precise and at the same time emotional description of your new experience and expectations. I wish I could do the same.

  2. Hi Krishna, impressive first reflection/entry in your blog. I guess we all are in the same situation so do not worry about making mistakes for, as you said, it is through them that we learn and get experience.

    1. Thank you Hector.I agree with your idea that' path of knowledge is not easy'.But somtimes it is much easier than we think.We fear of making mistakes,hesitate to move ahead ,we sit.And when we stand and look ,we find people who started their journey reached far ahead

  3. Dear Krishna, I am very impressed with your blog and your sincere words about your experience in blogging. Waiting for the course for two years is another thing that impressed me. I am sure this is going to be one of the most influential experiences we will have in our career. I would like to wish you luck and success in your studies.
    Best,
    Hülya

    1. Hi Hulya
      Thank you for sharing your feeling.To be frank I was little anxious while blogging for the first time. We must update ,otherwise we will be outdated.And nobody expect better treatment from outdated medicine.
