Hi Everyone
My name is Janice and I've just rewarded myself with a yummy chocolate for having successfully created my first Blog!! I've bought myself a box of chocolates and I plan to have one each week as a reward for having learnt something new.
I'm a library technician and I work in a Health Library. I really enjoy my work and I am looking forward to playing around with Web 2. in this course. While I've never used Facebook or My Space I'm familiar with these sites because of my kids. My kids love these social networking sites and use them constantly to stay in touch with friends. They found it very funny when I told them I would be setting up a Facebook account. In their eyes I'm much too old to have any friends let alone be networking!!
I love the 'learning by doing' focus of this course. I now find that it is not enough to read about something new, I really have to play with it to learn how to use it. It reminds me of the way my kids play with a new computer game. They never read the instructions, they alway dive straight into the game. While I'm busy reading the instruction booklet they have set up characters, created cities and fought their first skirmish. They have lots of fun and learn far more about the game than I ever do.
I plan to follow their example and have fun.
Welcome! I absolutely LOVE your reward system! Good luck with the rest of the program!
ReplyDeleteHi Janice, your positive comments are very inspiring. It's also completely new to me and I will need to rely on some of the supporting materials I think..haven't had a chance to look at Q&As and the Wiki yet which may have good stuff. All the best

ReplyDeleteHello Janice
ReplyDeleteI use FaceBook to play scrabble and scrabble clones with friends overseas - and one in Melbourne. Young people only think they're the only ones having fun!!
