Personal Learning

Ok, just went to the next step in LAMS and I was supposed to blog about personal learning for my first post! Never mind, just illustrates the fact that everyone learns differently. I am definately of the generation that learn (at least technology-wise) by doing and experimenting, hence the first thing I did was play around with settings, changing the colours, fonts and gadgets on my blog. I learn best by playing, putting gadgets on and taking them off if they don't appeal. I think it is partly growing up with computers etc, and constant use that makes me confident in my ability to play without messing anything up too much (this is a constant fear that some of our older customers who don't have this experience have). It's great to see these customers come along, learn from someone and then have the chance to play- the enthusiasm and exploring that results from these classes is wonderful. After all, I am a firm believer in 'practice makes perfect'!

First Post!

Wow, first post on my first blog, what a momentous occasion - I feel like I need to come up with something really witty to say! Mind you, it took me long enough to come up with the address for my blog so don't have 3 hours to waste composing my first comment (otherwise this blog may consist of only one post)! For those of you who haven't met me (and heard the giveaway accent)and are questioning the title, yes I am from Australia, Sydney in fact. I moved to NZ 4.5 years ago and really enjoy the lifestyle here. 3 years in Blenheim gave me a love for good food, fine wine and the Marlborough Sounds! Moving to Christchurch after that was a great opportunity to travel more (much cheaper to fly to places from here than from Blenheim) and indulge some other passions, snowboarding and sailing. I am really enjoying working at CCL and look forward to the new experiences that CCL Learn has to offer!
