Finito!

After lots of learning, exploring and experimenting, here I am at the end of this 12 week journey into Web technologies. I know that in some ways I have barely scratched the surface of some of the tools that I have explored, having to be content with what I have been able to give time to. I have, however, gained in confidence in my ability to grapple with new technologies and overcome a bit of an anxiety that ' it's all just a bit too much'  to get into 21st century technologies. What I probably need is a week with nothing but a laptop, a list of interesting webtools to explore and plenty of uninterrupted time to investigate and learn more thoroughly.

I have appreciated the opportunity to explore through the structure of the course and the benefit of doing it over a few months rather than trying to cram it into a couple of intensive PD days. The plan back at school will now be to get some of the 12 staff from Hillcrest who have participated in this course to volunteer to run some training sessions on a tool they found interesting to other staff in the College so as to spread the expertise through the school community. As for me, I shall lead a session on setting up and using a Wiki page as I have already set up a wiki for the College Exec and they are busily working out the ins and outs of how to use it to their advantage. It's all part of a passion for creating a professional learning community with ICT technologies as one platform for cultural transformation

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this learning journey :)
