After 7 years of my lovely working friends at Ultralab and the Faculty of Education at Anglia Ruskin University encouraging me to blog for myself and/or my professional life with my words of infinite wisdom - here it finally is in all its glory.
This blog is my learning journal for our online MA Learning Through Technology which I have signed up for, "just-in-time". Time management training wasn't lost on me, you might say :)
I have much to catch up on and lots of reading to do, which I'm looking forward to, after seven years helping to run the backend administration, marketing and technical support for our online BA(Hons) Learning Through Technology At last, I will get involved academically in what we teach our students which will further inform my own work practice.
Hi Lindsey good to see you stepping into the blogging world I should make a new academic one too really or rekindle my old one. I am also tempted to do the Masters, trouble is I have so much underway towards publication I worry that I might not fit it all in. Shall i shan't I... so hard deciding.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteI had the same concerns Ian but I felt I could and should do this to enhance what I do and add it into my skillset. If it were to be a wholly separate learning experience, I wouldn't have the time that I would want to do it in either!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Shirley :)
welcome to blogging ... I too was very slow off the mark with this, but enjoy it lots now.
ReplyDeleteoooh.. what fun. You're gonna get very intimate with Kolb, Honey and Mumford, Bloom, Piaget and all those other dudes all over again. I must admit that learning about learning was the most fulfilling and motivational experience I've ever had. You're sure to benefit loads in your job!
ReplyDeleteI need to allocate some thinking hats for the job too...I already have the black hat covered both metaphorically and physically speaking. It's good to be a student again!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the wonderful world of blogging missus
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Lindsey, blogging is great fun and a great way to express yourself xx
ReplyDeleteThanks guys :) it's gonna be quite strange blogging for myself and not adding factual posts for online students..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Lindsey.....it's good to see you wanting to develop on and can blog. I just never really felt comfortable about writing about myself and what I did....things have changed now
ReplyDeleteI hope you really enjoy the course and that you got a good 'staff' discount ;-)
