Assignment 2 Research Technologies

Looking forward to what I can learn in the next assignment called Research Technologies that I am going to start on the weekend. Early preparation was not possible with assignment 1b due to the birth of our beautiful daughter and my wife being in hospital for the last month and looking after the other three kids was a full time job so with my wife now home I can work towards completing the next assignment early.

Assignment 1b

Over the past 2 weeks, I have learnt so much in this unit. Having not gone to Uni for 20 years, it takes a little bit of time to get up to speed and I know that my learning in this unit will help me in my time at Uni immensely as well as being a big help when I complete my degree and get into the class room.

More Reflections!

Learning a lot from this unit so far and looking forward to learning a lot more in the coming weeks.

The use of facebook is an extremely effective and efficient way of getting an invitation out for a particular event. It is also very easy to reply and get an idea of who is able to attend.

Contributing to a Social Network Site

When you receive an invitation to an event on facebook, you can reply to the event and make comments about any further details that may have been left out of the invite. You can see who else will be there and if any details are changed about the event, this can also be viewed on  facebook.
