Why do you want to learn to facilitate?
I have always been a teacher. I love teaching. As I am not a trained teacher, I have to improvise and teach. By trial and error, I have helped quite a few people become educated. As the world becomes tech savvy, I need to update my skills to reach my students spread across the globe. I may even be able to help them learn, once I have online facilitation skills. Hence I am here to learn by doing.
What are you doing now in terms of online facilitation?
I am a member of Skypes Education platform and have connected two classrooms online. Sacred Heart College at Cochin, India was connected to All Saints Catholic Girls College, Australia on International Womens Day by me. It was a fabulous experience. Now I want to connect even more schools and colleges with my leadership. To be successful in this dream, I need to polish my skills at online facilitation. Thanks to all my classmates here. I plan to learn from all of you.
What would you like to achieve, change or do more of?
I would like to be known as the person who brought digital democracy to India, my country. We have very poor and economocally backward people who deserve the crutches of technology. I want to reach out to them and empower them with technological goodies.
What do you need to do or make happen to achieve your goal?
I need to move to villages, meet the not-so-well educated people there and help them learn how to use computer and internet. Once they get a basic knowledge, I plan to get them online to network with peers across the globe. Heart-to-heart chat with people from other cultures will empower them with communication skills. Once they have become reasonably good at cross cultural communications, I plan to offer their chat friendship service to senior citizens all over the world for a nominal service charge to sustain them. This way, we could bring about more love between people, in a world without boundaries.
