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'!

  1. Hi Gill,
    Thanks for inviting me to follow your blog. I think my style of learning is similar to your's. I like to try things and experiment. It appeals to my creative side as well as my desire to make something that serves a useful function. However sometimes I can go a bit overboard spending time trying to make something work (which can happen quite a bit in CCLlearn!).

  2. Hi Gill,

    I too am someone who learns by doing. Being spammed has made me a little more cautious about playing around with my Blog. Hopefully once I ma reviewed and cleared I will add more gadgets. perhaps up load a You Tube video and add a slideshow.
