Lecture- Introduction.

29/02/08

Lecture:

This was the first week of UPC and the last day of the week. My lecturer is Helen Cripps, i learnt she has epilepsy. Although i am focused and aimed on finishing with high marks. Knowing that she has completed several degrees with epilepsy and pursuing TAFE for a year to get into UNI makes me more motivated and aimed to finish.


Today's lecture i gained knowledge on;

  • an introduction to the course

  • the ecu site- which showed us some functions and areas of the site.
  • we where shown the course structurem, which contains 6modules
  • we where shown the assesment groups and the percentage each one was worth i.e. journal (40%), group assignment (30%) and the exam (30%).

Workshop:

Our workshop lesson was confusing and annoying for me. My computer wasn't working so i wasted time trying to sort that out, then had to eventually move to another computer (always my luck).

We had a worksheet handout to follow through setting up our accounts on blogger and image shack, and getting started. I'm working out how to use it all because i'm a bit confused with it all at this time. The sites for completing my blog used are; http://www.imageshack.us/ and of course http://www.blogger.com/ .

Reading:

The reading was a to set by step guide on how to create a blog. We also had a step by step guide on registering and using image shack. We also had a guide on how to create a screen shot. This was interesting for me because it's so simple and i didn't know how to do it before.
