Finale

It seems almost surreal that I am making my last official blog entry. Time has certainly flew!

Where does one begin to write the end? I guess we have to go back in time to the first workshop with Mark where most of us were inexperienced users of the numerous web tools that were introduced to us over the period of this course. When told that we have to create a blog as part of our on-going assessment, I must admit that I thought it was relatively easy. However, I soon found out that embedding links, videos and images required the grasp of technology far more than what I knew. Personally, I feel that blogging is useful as I am 'forced' to read up on relevant articles and view videos before making a posting. This had led me to be better informed on the world of technology today. The only drawbacks on blogging for me is that the Blogger platform is not entirely user-friendly. I've experienced troubles posting a blog entry, where I had to type EVERYTHING from scratch to fonts and font sizes acting up.

I've created yet another Storybird (I love it!) to summarize my thoughts on this course.


Looking Back . . . by roshloga on Storybird

Blogging on your own thoughts and experiences is beneficial. However, I feel that making a comment on two other blog posts each week is rather time consuming, especially when we have a whole load of assignments (with numerous parts) to complete as well. As I am overloaded with units this semester, it is a greater challenge for me to stay on top of things and I can only hope that I have managed to do so.

Now that the official blogging requirements are over, I may still continue to post an entry from time to time on things that I come across in my teaching career or any particularly outstanding incidents. Though, I'll probably make a Storybird or a Vodcast out of it, instead.
