Dear Friends,
Greetings! How are you today?
[Inspired by the talks of Prof. Ravindra G Dastikop, at Virtual Global Conference on Blended and Distributed Education, Christ University, Bengaluru,where even I was an invited participant.]
As you are already aware, College is reopening on 13th September. [At this time, I am not aware of the new developments, if any].
I am writing to interest you in commencing Java Classes, by using Blogs + Google Groups + SMS, immediately and lets not wait for class-room sessions.
So, I thought this is the opportune time for me to initiate this and to say YES to Blended Learning.
@Head - CSE: Many Thanks to Prof. Shrihari M Joshi, for his immense support in this initiative.
So, lets begin the show, and here I give link to my new blog, meant wholly for Java teaching - 7th Sem ' A ' division. [2007 - 2011 Batch].
I recommend you to communicate with me for any Java related queries by directly commenting in the blog itself, and i do not prefer mail for this purpose; As our conversations in the blog, could have a relevance to the immediate topic on which you would be commenting and could act as a Knowledge Base for next batch.
Please Note:
Check your understanding type of questions would be asked on all these posts, when we meet in the class room.
Recommend you to watch:

This is a very nice initiative. Blended learning is the right way to teach, especially when we have access to new media and the teaching and learning opportunities it provides.
I had tried something like this a couple of years back and it worked out quite well, though in that time students were not very familiar with new media. I was hoping this approach would free up some time in class where we could have more discussions rather than just teach simple concepts. That did not quite happen, but I was still happy with the results of that little experiment.
Here's the Java blog I had created - http://scitjava.blogspot.com/
