So I guess blogging is not my forte....neither is homework. It's not that I feel it is unimportant. On the contrary it is of utmost importance to me...that it in itself is the problem. It is for me...so it tends to get pushed to the end of the list behind my kids, my husband, other family, students, teacher partner, etc....
I was lying in bed awake at about 4am and everything seemed so clear. I wrote my blog in my head, planned the program template and artwork for the closing ceremony, decided on the kids final task for science, figured out my next AQ assignment and sorted out shopping lists. Everything was calm and quiet ... and all goals attainable. It is at times like that I wish I could plug a USB cord into the side of my head and transfer all of the data to my laptop....because once my day actually started....nothing seemed clear or do-able anymore.
While working through my ever-growing list of things to do, it has become painfully obvious that no matter what technology is available, if you don't know how to use it...it really isn't much use. I have recently loaded Photoshop and Illustrator onto my laptop. They are great programs and will be very useful in the creation of artwork and media and a million other projects. The problem is I don't know how to use the programs properly.....just another thing to learn. And I WANT to learn....that is why I got the software. That is why I am taking this course. I guess I should start by learning how to schedule my time more efficiently and prioritize time for my own learning.
