This evening I had opportunity to watch a video by Daphne Koller, co founder of Cursera about the potential of e-learning and what we're learning from online education. The video was really inspiring so I went to look what courses they have to offer and it seems that I found a couple of them which interested me.
Lately I have been thinking quite much at the potential of the e-learning and how I could use my skills in that field of education: the reality is that there is not a school ib Oulu area ready to take me on board. I have to make a move and start to dance according to the music. Nowadays is not the world what they were teaching me at school and that's the problem of my country. We should start to look around us and go to looking for opportunities. I won't have perhaps ever a permanent job from 8-16 5 days a week so I have to organize myself with the plan B. I have the biggest motivation sleeping in the next room and I will never let him down. I will provide for him opportunities to have an education, possibilities and choices. Those that I never had.
The potential of e-learning is extremely wide: is quite democratic cause everybody could access to the courses, it supports collaborative learning and last but not the least give a chance to re-invent your entire career if it is necessary. I find this last aspect very positive: I define myself as a person that could always change like a chameleon and give me the possibilities to become someone else (in potential) is like giving to an hungry animal food.
