Anex to my first post (tag included)

We usually understand teaching-learning processes as formal, in which the physical presence of both teacher and learners is needed. The introduction of new technologies and the increasing digital literacy of people, specially of young people, are pushing forward to be more confident in other less formal strategies such as online learning. Due to my job, partly consisting of planning courses for teachers, I have the experience of meeting a group of little motivated teachers, tired after working all day, who don't want to really participate actively in the course, who are little enriching. On the other hand, online activities have interesting characteristics, and allow teachers to choose the place, the time and the rhythm to learn. Although there is still a long way to walk to get a good level of digital knowledge, teachers in this kind of courses usually get a good standard of learning. They are more cooperative, and that is very important. Who wants to drive and spend three hours after working all day to meet a teacher who explains something you can find in a book or the Internet? Learning implies much more than that, and physical presence does not guarantee a real improvement.A blog is a very interesting tool to improve the learning process. I have used it with teachers attending a course on reading habits. All of them could accede to a blog specially created for the occassion, and the exchange of opinions, ideas, teaching resources was very interesting. I admit that many of them were reluctant to do it, as I suppose medieval men did with books, a revolutionary tool then.Some people in my organization have enough digital competence to use new technologies as a tool. But they (me included) still have the sensation that traditional courses are worthy for our clients, and that online activities will make us lose importance in the system. I am aware that I have had some experiences that may be considered innovative, but I also know that there is so much to do to get a real and full profit of these strategies. I am on the way, no matter how long it takes, I think I am on the right way. The other way is to maintain traditional strategies and reject the new ones. But it's time to innovate and adapt the sign of the times.
