New Year, New Blog

I am now in my third year of studying education studies at SMU. WOW! Time has flown.

i have chosen Education Futures as part of my electives and we have been asked to continue writing our blog as part of our assignment. 

i have decided to start an all-new blog to differentiate from my previous and present academic writing skills (if i have any!)

This blog is at http://myfinalyearfinally.blogspot.co.uk/

So there we have it!

So tomorrow is D-Day or should I say ICT-Day?!
I hope my project does well for what it is and that Mandy and Suzie like it and understand it.

Anyway, its all boxed and ready to go.

Wish me luck!

Off to watch this now...

Au Revoir!

Hooray!!!

Hooray!! I have finally finished my ICT AND my Problem Solving toy Assignments. All packed up and ready to return to Uni on Tuesday.
I may even be able to squeeze in my Key Skills literacy assignment too!
I am feeling rather proud of myself!

so, now I am smack bang in the middle of my assignments. its hard going but I think I now have all bases covered. The ICT one is proving to be the easiest AND the hardest one. Only because I sort of get somewhere with it, and enjoying what I am doing and then lose my train of thought, go off to sort out another assignment and then lose where I was with this one! Not Good at all.

Here is part of my ICT assignment...one of many parts

ICT Assignment - what i understand is...

• We have to plan a visual presentation on the subject 'Sense of Place'. Now that can be anything that relates to you, what you like, what you love, where you live, interest etc. Music, film, Cartoon, Fashion, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING! So long as you can relate everything back to you.
• It is 4000 words all in all, The Sketchbook and blogs (not the Education Guest Lecture Ones) are worth 3000, but not literally words. Just remember 'A picture is worth a thousand words' - But not literally, you cant just put in 3 pics and think thats it!
• You then have to write a Project Statement. This is worth 700 words and can be written under these headings - 1. Ideas and Intentions  2. Subject Matter/Reference Material/Sources 3. Materials/Media/ICT Programs/techniques used. Just like Caroline's toy assignment write up, just say what you plan to do, why and how you are going to do it.
• Then lastly its the Evaluation. This is worth 300 words and can be written under these headings. 1,. Ideas and Intentions have been realised?  2. Media Chosen for Presentation/Outcome is appropriate?    3. Is ICT a suitable tool for Visual Communication

I hope this helps some people.
