Today, i began a little worried whether i did the first task of attaching the competency task right. Firstly, we went through in the lesson discussing the difference between saving and publishing. As if you just saved it, then the public would not be able to see your entry, therefore for everyone to actually see it, you have to publish it.

Another thing I learnt that during this course i will need to use widgets ( search, cateorgies links) etc.

Also, I learnt how to add links to your blog, therefore i added Jess’s web blog to my blog. Therefore any time I wanted to look on her blog, I could quickly look at it without having to go through the process of typing her address out just click on her link.

Hey, 

Today was a little bit of a messy lesson, because i was a little late which made me confused with what i had to do.  Everytime i use this blogging system I get more and more confident about using this website to blog weekly entries.

To be perfectly honest, I didnt know when i began how this course would benefit my teaching degree. But, going on my first pract on tues the teacher used a smart board, and i immediately was worried because they looked very hard to use. So, hopefully this course allows me to gain confidence on other programs on the computer, so i am not too worried when i go to my school and have to use smart boards.

Not Much More to Add

This is my first entry to my blog. My score for the Competency Test was 37. I think i did alright, and it shows that i have a basic knowledge about some programs on the computer. As i was going through the test, I noticed that at the beginning I was confident in most areas, but not confident enough to put a cross in the 4th box.  This shows that I know the basic functions of a computer, but are not confident enough to explain to someone else. Which essentially is what teaching is all about explaining new concepts and computing programs to someone else. My strengths in ICT are doing things such as word processing, saving word documents etc. Yet my weaknesses are using other programs such as spreadsheets, graphic organsiers, video editing and use etc.  

I believe this class will be an important learning experience for me as i will be able to use the computer with confidence in the classroom and also be able to teach it to my students.

Here are the results of my Competency Test

 Alrighty catch ya later
