Caela's Reflective Post

In terms of weblogs being an effective learning tool, i guess they can be. Having the opportunity to read other peoples perspectives on issues and topics within the unit provided a means to broaden your understanding of the notions discusses. However, as most people only posted the required blogs, i guess the whole notion of blogging was not embraced. As someone who had not come in contact with a blog let alone contributed to one, it was a good experiences and opened my eyes to the means of expressing opinions that exists with the web.

Am I a cybrog? I guess so. The unit has opened my eyes to the fact that society's reliance on technology highlights the way in which humans have c0me to 'need' technology. Most people find themselves using facets of technology in all sorts of ways, and essentially I think that humans in particular societies could be defined as cyborgs.

The topics discussed and focussed on within the scope of the unit were quite interesting. However, i guess that with all that there is to discuss, i would have found it to be more beneficial if the tutorial had been longer - 1.5 hours and perhaps the workshop dropped. I guess that in smaller groups such as tutorials people come to feel more comfortable and express their views more often.
