Google Drive has become part of me and my work.
Am I chained to it, amidst the roughness
of my teaching and research? Perhaps I am, as it provides a firm hold with an
organized structure that assists my progress. I like the ever-increasing
affordances, shifting my practices into new and uncertain spaces.
Since discovering Google Drive through a course on Emerging
Technologies in Higher Education (run by the Cape Higher Education Consortium),
I’ve shared it with colleagues, and introduced it to students enabling them to
use it through authentic learning, as their comrade. It offers a user-friendly
avenue for reflective practice from where students’ voices and experiences can
be amplified through online collaborative engagement.
An explanation of my use of Google Drive with medical students
is now published in a Routledge book edited by Vivienne Bozalek, Dick Ng’ambi.
