My final reflection...

As I stated way back at the beginning of the semester...it seems a life time ago now! I am not much of a 'reflector'. Despite regularly encouraging my students to reflect on what they have learnt and when I was a year level co-ordinator to reflect on their behaviour! I have enjoyed the reflective nature of this subject. I have been able to think about how I can apply my new knowledge to my current workplace and how I can make the curriculum more engaging and collaborative in nature.

I have enjoyed trying all the Web 2.0 technologies even though Second Life was a complete and utter disaster - it crashed my computer so many times I lost count and there was never anyone around when I was living my 'Second Life' and besides I can't cope with my 'First Life' so Second Life was lost on me. However, I really enjoyed reading all about everyone else's wonderful Second Life adventures on the group's Facebook page.

Speaking of Facebook....it was great having a group Facebook page as it worked so much better than a forum...it would be great to see other subjects adopt this. It provided a much more relaxed environment and also enabled people to post links with ease - I really enjoyed it!

One thing this subject has made me realise is that I can't do it all. I can't have a husband who travels extensively for work, raise two kids and work full time and study...something has to go and I am thinking that it will be the study for the time being. I am seriously thinking of taking the Post Grad Dip and running! But I do only have two subjects to go...... so I will see if I pass this semester....then make my decision
