LOOKING FORWARD TO LEARN AND SHARE
When I learnt that I was nominated to follow the course on Web 2.0 Tools which is being conducted by the University of Mauritius, I felt concerned.
I felt concerned because for me it was almost unimaginable to leave all the work that are pending at my office and go out "on holiday" for a week at the University to follow a course which was even not directly related to my field. Then, I thought that I would probably bunk some of the lectures and just drop in at my office to handle the "urgent and important issues".
The training started on Monday 9th July 2012 and after observation of all usual protocols of inauguration by the Minister, speeches by the VIPs and socialisation with the other participants around cups of coffee, the serious things started.
The participants are all professional from their respective fields and are eager to learn about Web 2.0 tools. The trainers are even more enthusiastic than the trainees and though they humbly admitted that the training materials were not their own and were provided by the CTA, they conduct the lectures and demonstration with professionalism, dedication and tact .
Three days of the training have already lapsed and I can assure you that now, I have no other concern than going till the very end of the course without missing a single bit of it.
I am looking forward to actively use the Web 2.0 tools in my personal life, but I am also eager to go back at my institution and share whatever I am learning, with my colleagues. The uses to which Web 2.0 tools can be put to, seems to be non-exhaustive. We just need to adopt the right tool and adapt it to our situation or context. It can but only bring about development, progress and advancement.
My sincere gratitude goes to the trainers, the university staff, the FARC, and the CTA.
