HOW DO I BEGIN……..

While reading through the module I began to feel very overwhelmed by the task ahead of me. I am enormously uninformed in the world of web based technologies having limited experience only with Facebook and I can never think of anything of worth to post there, so needless to say this will be a new challenge for me.

After I spent a while staring at a black word document I decided to read other peoples blogs to try and find inspiration on how to start my blogging journey. Feeling very apprehensive, I found courage reading through other students blogs who are further into the course than me. I’m also beginning to understanding the idea behind immersing fully into the blogging experience by posting possibly uncompleted work for comments and commenting on others. It’s a concept that I find uncomfortable, opening up my work for scrutiny from my peers. By spending time reading through other people’s posts and the comments made about them I have come to appreciate the process better and understand that it will help me to better my work, as reading through what other people have written has given me inspiration and ideas for my own tasks. It also cleared up what is expected from some of the tasks.

I am by nature a very private person who to the frustration of those around me, keep most of my thoughts and feeling to myself, therefore writing down my thoughts and refection’s is a skill that I will need to develop through this module. So although I am still feeling slightly apprehensive about this process I am ready to embrace the challenge…
