| This is Sheena - She was curious about this blog and kept looking at me when I wrote this blog . She is 13 months old now (this is her old pic):) |
It been a while that i did any writing. But you know what blogging is dynamic and I only write when I really feel that I should share something exciting and new.
Online World and Ideas
I was restless last few days, going through TED.com videos, reading articles and blogs online. Came across innovative and modern ways in which young individuals (I don't like calling them as kids, coz they may know far more than any adult at any given point of time and the term kid sounds some one who is ignorant or naive) teach themselves to learn through technology. Sugata Mitra is a huge inspiration to my restlessness. Well, did I mention that I was also very happy being restless? You may be wondering but I was! :)
Being restless is also being happy because, when you are restless to find something new, or in search of an idea , all you have to do is to keep reminding yourself that you are going to find the idea and be happy. So, yes I was happy thinking that I am gonna be happy after a while. :) Does it make sense? Never mind! :)
So after googling and reading and reading more, I have come across this idea and realized that, we don't write(or should i say express) as much as we all surf and read (at least I dont! ) And we all need good writers, for good ideas to be exchanged. Also we know that writing in this particular way helps us to connect people. And there are not many young bloggers like Mr Gloson 16 years who can write effectively and also make lot of money from it. Actually I am excited to see if young individuals just start writing their ideas, how to make the writing effective and make money from it is the next task . I strongly feel that the young individuals should be told about how to make money by writing/blogging and that can act as an amazing incentive for them to write and write well.
All the new kids on the block know how to generate revenue from their write ups. I am still figuring that out! :(
How College can help locally in Online Space
I work at Parvatibai Chowgule College, (which is an undergraduate and a post graduate College for Social Sciences, Languages and Sciences) as a marketing officer/corporate communication officer and I rather like to see my job as to add value to the current education system. The last few days of googling, viewing , listening and reading has helped me to figure out that I have a passion of working with young individuals, who further are going to be the leaders of our Global society and making them know about writing is going to enlighten me and make me happy! :)
Blogging which sounds more cool to writing is important to be discussed with young individuals. I also feel that we must share, the money one can make through blogging.
Blogging is one aspect of the internet, where you are constantly aware of your own identity, feel confident to put forward your views, innovations, ideas and also know that some one else is going to read your blog post/article and get some information, if not atleast get a point of view and having a point of view to know that there will be several points of views is the sign that you are becoming a more informed individual in further making a choice of buying a product/service or nurture an idea.
So My plan of Action is as follows:
1) Read more about blogging and how to make money
2) Read how it can benefit the young individuals (Also the ill effects of Blogging if any for Risk Management! )
3) Start Blogging more often and also learn the techniques of making money from it to act as a role model for many new bloggers.
4) Locate schools in Goa and visit them with this idea.
5) Share this idea with the writing Centre at Chowgule College and connect the Writing Centre to help the kids write effectively.
6) Local businesses like book publishing companies, IT companies, real estate agencies, travel agencies and many others need good content writers and we as an institution can act as resource hub in serving the needs of these companies.
Share and feed more ideas to the Global society.
Love you all
