Week 2




G'day all

Look at the Wallwisher and add your comment about what you did on the weekend!

I've had a quick look at your blogs and posted a comment. They all look good and I hope they grow week by week!

Thanks to all of you for completing the quiz on 'Computer Health'. Remember to follow the advice on the exercises and sit correctly and do the exercises if you start to get a bit tired.

Well done too to those of you who sent me an email with the recount attachment. As I told you on Wednesday, the recounts did not really follow the correct structure so you'll need to re submit them.

Today I'd like you to listen to the interview with one of the college librarian's, Patricia and complete the exercises. You'll need headphones to listen to the podcast. Print out the worksheet. When you're finished, use your answers to write a short information report about the Library. Remember to use the structure that Svetlana taught you.

When you finish that, go to the World Map and record a short voice message about where you come from. Follow the prompts to complete the activity! You will have to register! It's easy! Just ask me how if you're not sure!

Happy blogging!

Semester 2

G'day all!

Whilst over the past 5 weeks you've learnt about powerpoint and emails, we'll now concentrate on blogging. Today, you'll learn how to create a blog and start posting! Have a look at this link to see what this class is about!

Click on this link to Rosa's blog which shows the importance of good computer health and how to create a blog. Follow the instructions and after you've completed the Computer Health tasks you'll soon be blogging!

I'm glad to be back in class with you after the visit to my family in Ireland? I've been in Australia for just over 30 years but I still call Ireland 'home'! When I'm in Ireland I call Australia 'home'! Funny, isn't it? I'm the only member of my family here. My brother and 2 sisters still live close to my mum. My husband was born in Melbourne and I met him in Ireland. Where do you come from? How long have you been here? Do you have family here with you? If you're married did you meet your husband overseas? Write a little bit about yourself in your first blog post.

Happy blogging!
