During this week in the lecture/tute I was a lot more confident in myself and how I believe this course will go. The first week had me wondering how hard the overall course would be and if I would be able to manage a good grade given the fact that we are being immersed in new technologies that I either have not used because I have not heard of them or technologies I used alternatives for. An example of this is a blog. I have created a blog before, however it was not for University nor my studies. I kept the blog for 10 months. Having a blog I have to post to every week is a new thing to me because I am not used to having to follow another person’s guidelines about posting online.
I have found that I did not have time to do the readings for the second week before the tute however after the tute I was able to do the readings. I found doing it in that way it consolidated the readings and I was able to stay more focused on them. This may be because the readings had a purpose where it did not doing it before the lecture/tute.
I had one of my group members drop out of the course but thankfully I was able to get the new person who joined our course to join our group. We then spoke briefly as a group after the tute about what we would be able to do our 10 minute video on. We have narrowed it down to some educational games on Neopets or video editing. I have been doing a lot of research on differing areas for students to be able to use them for. I also set up a Google Docs word document for the group to be able to post all their information, ideas and eventually finalised scripts. This was a good site to use because it allows us to be able to work from different computers on the same document at the same time. I am hoping to learn about more cloud computing software as the course progresses.
