Live Classroom and social media groups

Beginning Task 2, I was feeling disappointed after finding out that our Live Tutorials for external students would now be held between 8- 9pm WA time (9.30pm for me in the Northern Territory). Unfortunately, a bit late for me. I don't want to miss out as these tutorials really helped to motivate me throughout the last task, and helped with clarification of the task itself. It made me feel involved and allowed me to be able to contribute. It was nice to have that connection with my peers and the tutors.

I was assured that these tutorials would also be recorded and I could therefore watch the archived session.

Discussions that have been brought up in Facebook and the EDN113 Skype group have allowed me to interact with my peers and provided me with that all important interaction that can sometimes be limiting as an external student. These groups have allowed me to feel connected and inclusive as part of a group.

Yesterday (28th March) I had a dicussion with a couple of my peers in our Skype group about our initial understandings of task 2. I had being feeling a little hesitant to begin with about starting task 2 as I had felt slightly confused about the resource and what we had to write in our word document. These online discussions have given me the reassurance  I needed from others and  the confidence knowing that you have interpreted the task as others have.
