“There are two ways to be wrong about the Internet. One is to embrace cyber-utopianism and treat the Internet as inherently democratizing. Just leave it alone, the argument goes, and the Internet will destroy dictatorships, undermine religious fundamentalism, and make up for failures of institutions. Another, more insidious way is to succumb to Internet-centrism.”

I'm an online educator, and my online teaching and learning is both visible and persistent. Although Wikipedia is still a relatively new environment for me. I have used a range of technologies for education. On wikipedia, I am grateful to many who helped me find my way. Here in Gauteng, Bobby Shabangu (for inducting me to this environment), and Matete Lesele (for the good company). Both have been very kind.
I am also an open educator. I support Open_educational_resources OER, am an active member of Creative Commons and a newish Wikipedian. I am also shaped by my context and my teachers. I engage critically with dominant technology and higher ed discourses. I assume, in good faith, that these interactions contribute towards shaping education and technology for public good.
I am a constructivist educator, always thinking and working on my sandbox. The content presented here is never static and others have edit rights. I would love to talk to you, if you have questions.
