reflective post

In evaluating the use of the weblogs for learning purposes I would say that posting comments online was an easy and interesting way to communicate with other memebers of the tutorial. I think that the weblog provides an environment in which most would feel safe and confident in sharing their opinions. In some ways, weblogging is almost not as confronting as direct physical contact with a person but on the other hand not as final as words on paper either. Remembering to post all six of the required posts was sometimes difficult and admmitingly I didn't really use the blog to comment on anything outside of these, but I still considered it to work well for me as I enjoyed posting them.

Do I see myself a cyborg? I dont really know. Im still sitting on the fence with this one. I agree in part with the point raised today that in order to be a cyborg one must inherently possess some sort of computer mediated technology but then I also see how this definition of a cyborg is increasingly becoming more problematic with the evolution of external technology/objects becoming addictive or pyhsologically embeddded within society (ie a mobile phones) but I still dont really know to what extent I consider myself a cyborg...not much I guess, I dont really fit either of the above definitions!

Overall I thought the course was well organized and interesting and enjoyed the contemplative discussion that arose from our tutorial.
