Getting my head around these wonderful technologies has taken me a little, no, a lot(!) more time than I had ever expected, and than the university has specified. In these last few months I learned more about IT than I had in all those years leading up to the beginning of this course! I find ICT truly fascinating but at the same time extremely challenging, especially when a rather simple task takes me hours to accomplish!
In order to 'survive' I did not complete all of the tasks. It was all getting too much for me and I stopped posting to the forums and therefore didn't advertise my blog sufficiently, and I didn't advertise my wiki or my power point presentation as it was designed in the course material. I didn't make a narration audio file for a power point presentation, explore and talk about about royalty free music, spend much time reading the blogs of my peers, post comments to their blogs or receive comments, and I didn't reference as accurately as I usually do (I chose to spend my time on the things I wanted or needed to learn instead!).
In one sense I feel as though I have failed because I didn't do everything that was asked of me, yet in another sense I can proudly say that I have mastered most of the tasks and in the process vastly broadened my understanding of ICTs. I can't wait to use in schools what I have learned, and to explore ICTs further once I have the time to do so.
