Hi my name is Cathy and this is the first blog I have ever had. I'm not going to lie, I am a bit nervous about this blogging thing as I have not had much previous experience with computers apart from using them to type up assignments and the Uni's moodle site. I find using new technologies very daunting, but I must admit once I get the hang of them, they can be very interesting and even enjoyable.

Exploring my new talents
After four weeks of e-learning I am very excited to announce that I am now proud owner of a Blog, a Wiki and a Website, and I have created my own Voki. I feel like a new door has opened up for me, with so many opportunities to create fun and engaging ICT's my brain is in overdrive with creative ideas to teach using these technologies. I have brought a few of these ICT's together in my website and am using them in my lesson next week. Click here and go check it out. I am very proud of what I have achieved in the last couple of weeks, I have used technology more than I ever have and have really enjoyed it. Honestly, I am glad that I have done this course internally as I find that the guidance from the website is useful but as I am more of a Kinaesthetic and Interpersonal learner, therefore I have sourced a lot of guidance and help from my peer learners. I find by someone showing me how to do something and then by practising it I pick things up a lot quicker and easier. I suppose this is a good example of the constructivist theory where through guidance and scaffolding, I have added on to what knowledge I had and further developed it to where I am now. I am so excited about what I can now do, I have surprised myself and am quite amazed at how structured and easy that these ICT's are to use.
