On commencement of this unit I have been
feeling anxious and nervous about the tasks ahead of me. Returning to
university after 5 years is very daunting and I am very unfamiliar to this way
of working as an external student. On commencement of university I was very worried about lack of contact with tutors and my peers and that as an external student I would feel isolated.
Within a week of commencing this unit I have discovered that there are endless opportunities for connecting with my peers and all tutors you have been readily available when seeking advice. I have been able to interact threw discussion boards on our LMS system, using Skype and via a Facebook social media group that has been set up by one of my peers. It is a great feeling to have so much support and to be able to communicate with everyone, this has had a huge impact on my learning experience.
I am definitely behind today’s technological world. Although challenging, I do feel this unit will be of great benefit to me, not only as a teacher, but in everyday life.

I was very excited to begin with and keen
to access the LMS and My Companion site to explore. I soon became overwhelmed
with the enormous amount of content put forward to me.
Reading through the unit guide for EDN113 Task 1 the words CREATE A WEBSITE AND BLOG definitely set in the panic even more as I had hoped that the first assignment might have been something a little more familiar to me. I have never even attempted creating a website before, and felt out of my depth with this one.

After many hours browsing the LMS and theTechnology Toolbox, I found reading students and tutors comments on the
discussion board very comforting. I now realise that many of us were in the
same boat!
