Another week has gone and I am here still chased in the maze of internet discovery. I began to feel the pressure of many readings urging me for more readings and for more writing as well. Digging in the fertile world of imagination, evaluating other minds’ products with a never ending thirst to express what gaining some skills through the web may mean.
Internet has offered us a memory where we can store; links and networks of many websites we used to cross and others we are meant to come through! It has granted that utopian world where ideas can be safely discussed and shared by noble beings, moving from a virtual neuron to another declaring human fulfillment and revolutionary success with the advent of machines!
How do I feel now!? Maybe exhausted, yet deeply still defiant to discover more! I have never realized that everything in this virtual world is under my own construction so the more I react the more I produce…Therefore, I am trying to build what I may see as my mind.
This week gave us the chance to read more, and we were supposed to write as reaction to what we read.. All in all, I found myself forced to write though the restraints of space with no choice but to be addict to the letters I trace as if to give them from myself a breath and a meaning that may make them alive and full. I was experiencing while reading the pain behind writing as well as the joy of liberation. I was writing while discovering myself growing gradually as I was writing with a steady development, feeling all what I had in mind from English without fears that perhaps the language may escape my strong engaged pen. I was trying to decipher what I could not understand all my straight way along my short journey in this nonsensical virtual world. The whole work was ready in my mind beforehand fully complete word by word, page by page in a whole scene with even the smallest details. I waited some days till I found myself unable to stop seeing my thoughts shaped .My brain was torn between reading and the limits of space: the limits of both time and space of our forum of discussion, limits of midweek days and the other left days and I was distorted by them all, all these artificial absurd instruments that may distort our inner thoughts at their essence, without losing the writing battle or surrendering faithful to myself I declared: you just began to feel the pressure, behold you are mastering these tools!
Hello Khaled,
ReplyDeleteYou have rightly said that we have found a place where we could share the ideas to people who are always in hunger, looking for the best in order to enrich themselves and to share their ideas to colleague and their students.
Before this course the idea I had for sharing was only through mails and instant chat. Now a day, you know instead of chatting I give them my blog URL and delicious page. I passed on the instruction that we got to those who likes to have one for themselves.
May be one day I should be able to produce a writer like you. Reading you ideas and systematic flow of sentence is excellent; I like your every post. In your write-ups one can’t find the exact expected answers, but one can feel within what you wanted to convey. That’s the secret of a writer isn’t it?
Keep up your good writing spirit and all the best.

Hello Khaled.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree on the way you feel, we are sharing many things here, and we are learning many things as well, the virtual world can be exhausting and sometimes difficult to understand, the way you express your feelings is really nice and interesting.

Hello Khaled
ReplyDeleteUntangling the maze that is the web is our job as educators, I believe. We should strive to make the inscrutable, understandable; the unfathomable, manageable; and the intimidating, useful. Nothing is more inscrutable, unfathomable and intimidating (for some) than technology and all the change that is happening.
I sometimes believe we who teach and work with people AND who strive to be good at technology must attempt to walk two worlds at the same time. This is the space I try walking. But it is a delicate balance, a narrow path, don't you think?
