In this subject, a lot of the work that we were being taught and going over was very basic for me. This led to me becoming frustrated part of the time in class as I wished to go further ahead but couldn’t do so because other members of my class didn’t understand or we were being explained something again. I did, however, have to get used to using a Mac but this soon became second nature to me and it was a good opportunity to learn how to use one when I am used to using a PC.

The layout of the final e-portfolio is very different to what I expected. I expected it to be laid out like a webpage where we could decorate the page to suit ourselves, could write information or ideas on pages under headings related to the artefacts we could also add. This was not so even though the e-portfolios we’d been looking at had been like this and so keeping modules one and two in line with module three has been difficult due to mixed expectations. I also had problems as I couldn’t include all of the artefacts I wished to as the site didn’t have enough space for all of my artefacts. Because the page was simple to develop, I feel that the subject should have been more challenging and allowed students who have used computers a lot, opportunities to create a better page and learn new and possible harder skills.

The subject has been a lot of fun as we were able to be creative and it allowed us to create something which taught us about ourselves and a skill we may possible have to teach and use later and allowed us to reveal and tell others information about ourselves through the page generally, our artefacts and through blogging.]]> http://digitaldialogues.org/eportfolios/mezb/weblog/855.html Fri, 20 Oct 2006 03:59:53 GMT I added some Files under my heading about youth ministry but I can't talk about them or describe them because I can only add the files. I wish I could discuss my topics rather than just post blog entries or add files because then I'd be able to make it more personal, more clear and I believe just easier to understand.
I expected it to be more like a normal webpage where I could design the page and have links off each page and so that is why changes have had to be made.
For a while in class today the page wasn't working and so that was a bit annoying as I couldn't access the page to make blog entries or get on with making my e-portfolio.
Today we're learning how to subscribe to a RSS feed but I don't know which ones will be appropriate for me because I want my e-portfolio to be focused on my passion for youth ministry not just generally about me or my degree. I may have to slightly alter my purpose though.... we'll see.
I'll push on, developing my page and see what happens.]]> http://digitaldialogues.org/eportfolios/mezb/weblog/829.html Fri, 13 Oct 2006 04:52:59 GMT
