Week Two – 23/10/08:

Today has been very productive and I have completed the required activites in much less time than I did last week. I think I have a little bit of Gen Y in me as I want everything 5 minutes ago and become frustrated when the technology can’t keep up

My laptop has frozen and needed to be restarted twice during todays tasks. I think it is not the technology so to speak, but the operator who wants to do too many things at once! I usually have all the pages I want to access open at once on seperate tabs and move backwards and forwards as needed. I think this is creating a problem so have tried to limit how many programs and browser windows/tabs I have open.

Week One – 16/10/08:

I have coined a new phrase “wikifrustration abounds” – I have have just lost all my work despite saving it In the end it worked out O.K and I completed all the required activities. One could say I am very stubborn and extremely determined! Thanks Karen for being a supportive collaborative learner and helping me out when the technology failed me.

Regardless it has been a great week and I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. The voice thread technology was new to me and I found it quite interesting and engaging.

I would most certainly ensure I spent a fair bit of time assisting / allowing the learners in my class to become familiar with the technology, tools and equipment required. It was suggested by Anne Bartlett Bragg (eLearning Lecturer at the University of Technology in Sydney) who I had for eLExp (eLearning Experiences) in 2007 at UTS that three weeks would be an appropriate amount of time to allow for this to occur.
