a pause that refreshes

The past two weeks have been very busy while working on my course assignment. Using Web 2.0 tools to create a presentation on a Web 2.0 tool definitely took me outside my comfort zone. I am more accustomed to writing essays and the like.

For this course, I had to come up with my design concept, then figure out how to execute it by determining the appropriate content and translating that content into the audio, video and slide formats, finally assembling them into the complete presentation. The saving grace, for me anyway, was that we had to post a draft version the week before the final one. That forced me to find out what worked and didn't work in a less threatening fashion, then incorporate the feedback from my peers into improving the final version. A great learning strategy which bears repeating. Thanks everyone.

Now I can relax a bit and continue to work on my concept map.

Cheers
