First day of reflection journal
9.30 to 3.00 IT lesson with a very enthusiastic and patient lecturer.
I was computer illiterate up until 3 years ago when I enrolled on to my degree
course. It’s amazing how long you can get away with out learning through
avoidance. Being Dyslexic I found finding my way around a whole system that
uses words extremely scary as well as a lot of hard work. I have always been
worried about pressing the wrong button or getting caught up or tangled in a
virtual web. Surprisingly today I found
myself in the same shoes as every one else. It seems that if you don’t keep up with
technology it can run away with out you.
The topic of today was social networking and how effective
it could be as a tool in teaching. Examples to this would be Facebook, twitter
and blogging. I found it quit easy to
transfer my skills in building my own website into starting my own blog but
found that old habits do not die and just go away. My confidence in completing
the task asked of me was often lost and so I needed reassurance that I was
right or at least on the right track, also my spelling let me down when I typed
an address, if you spell an address wrong then your never going to get there.
