We had our last class on Monday.
At the beginning of this subject I was very wary. Although I realise that technology is increasingly being used in businesses and now, training and development (the career I wish to work in), I do not really embrace new technology unless forced to. After being forced into using new technologies, this even includes moving from a CD player to an ipod as happened mid this year, I am always happier and can see the benefits once they have been demonstrated for me.
Victoria was very patient and I believe the class as a whole did not have much trouble being introduced to the new technologies of netvibes, delicious, uts online and blogging. There were some who picked up on it earlier than others. I feel I was able to adapt to this blogging thing pretty well, however netvibes was rather difficult.
Therefore in one of my final blogs I would like to say that I enjoyed this subject more than I thought I would. It makes me consider my opinion towards our e-learning subject for next year.
I am still going to attempt the extra assignment for module three which is due on Wednesday, must remember to post it on a separate page. Im planning to finish it on Monday or Tuesday night.
Signing out,

My posts have to be more indepth and evaluative. Will do something about that soon.
Had a bit of trouble finding the RSS feeds to place various websites onto my netvibes. Only did one tonight (the delicious account which woked) and ive forgotten how to put things onto the delicious account. I have 9 items saved on there at the moment, however only 3 under ‘elexp’.
It is really hard to get a layout that I like. This is what I would like in my layout.
- Easy to read
- Attractive
- Calendar showing days of posts
- Date of posts
- Personalised Title
This one ive now chosen, called ‘Redoable’ (after changing it about at million times), has most of those qualities except a personalised title. I also would have liked it a bit more colourful, although I suppose it will change again later.
ok i think i just worked it out. on the dashboard (which is like a homepage) you can click on ‘posts’ on the right hand side and it comes up so you can edit it. I have also changed the background by giving it a theme.
We have various things due next week.. I think they are basically showing that we have set up our different sites. I will have to check it on UTS online.
Id like to know how to edit previous blogs.. ie the one I just made.
Today in class we are setting up our blog. I have never done anything like this.. except for myspace so it is all new for me. Just exploring the site at the moment.
