this course that at the end my computer skillswill be better, I will be able to create learning

materials with my PC, and this whole stuff will

The course was started in the autumn of 2009 andparticipants came from several parts of Hungary.

When I logged into the portal at the first time, and sawthe e-learning frame system, I was shocked. It was atotally new learning environment with thousands ofinformation that Ive only heard about or even the

concepts were absolutely unknown.

and no experience; I was only an Internet-user, nothingelse.

But it was visible from the beginning that instructorsthat are standing behind the course were really

helpful. I saw the vivid life on forums, where they werediscussing the questions. Never happened, that theywould miss to answer to me helpfully, even in private

messages.

oun w a was searc ng or y myse ,learned how can I use the new tools and

what are they good for, how can I send mycompleted tasks and however these tasks

have strict deadlines, if it happens that I can

fulfill it I do not receive punishment like inan average school. I think that was the most

extreme case I had to get used to it wasnew for me!

All of our previous studies were in the same concept-system: material study report. With strict deadlines,and at the end, a mark (as evaluation). It was weird also till today that in this new system it was much

more relaxed.

There are obligatory tasks and optional tasks,and there are also those kind of tasks, that we

have to solve with the collaborative groupwork everybody had to add his/her own solution. I

think that was a really inspiring task, because thetopic was so interesting for everybody.

Existence of the net generation was obvious foreveryone. But it was not known whether this concept is

the same in Hungary and in other countries, and arethere any Hungarian specialities, and if yes what are

they.This task was maybe the biggest one, but I enjoyedevery minute of the work. I learned a lot from my

students, about the age group and its habits.

I think I like to be a tenegenist becauseeverything what we have learned is not for itself as it is in common studies. Almost everything iscompletely usable in our everyday practice in the

classroom.

I know that its not easy also for themand also for us. Even they are easilycan follow the development of the IT,the Internet which is hard to study

for my group age. During the courseby completing the tasks I could reachtheir way of thinking, and I was proud

of myself that I could use manyapplications that I never thought. I

teach some of them to my studentsand I also use them to create m own

When we were coming to know the concepts like netgeneration, digital indigenous, digital immigrants I

created a new concept on myself: digital dinosaur. Whoread a lot about Web 2.0, but the conception behind it is

a bit mystified. But as time goes by, I recognize howwidespread the field where I can use them is.

One of the first tasks was to create a personal blog. Everybodyhad to made his own, and some other tasks had to be completedby publishing in the blog. I dont really know the genre, I used toread some blogs, but to create a new one I was never thinkingabout that. But with time I started to enjoy it. At the moment I

have a hybrid blog where I put my completed tasks, myattempts on the lessons, and there are also some private posts.

I have read the others blogs of course; I think there are

a lot excellent materials there. Some of them arescientific, others are funny, but all of them reflects on

the author.So from that time I call myself as an official blog

consumer, because I read not only my classmates

blogs, but also many others. In teachers blog there aremany experiences, and also in students blog we canHungary - Szerencs

What I like the most is the huge amountof materials, articles, resources that I

can find on Tenegen Portal, and most ofthe time I print them out, because I still

prefer to read a paper rather then

I dont say that Im an expert in every topic, but Ican say that I try to use all these opportunities, mystudents enjoy my attempts, and they prefer this

kind of teaching-learning method.

To sum up: I dont feel any regretthat I started this course I can

study in my own pace, in my sparetime, and its ideal for me. Its a kindof intellectual challenge where one

helps to the others to close up.Hungary Fertd

I was thinking about whether if its a learning processwithout teacher? My answer is: no. No, however we dontcall it as a teacher but they exist in a different manner. Iwould call them tutor or mentor, as if I think about them.

But it wont work without them. And this concept is a bitfar from the course: but I think that teacher will be

always needed, only the frames will change.
