The end is nigh...

Are you thinking what I'm thinking B2?    
It's almost time to submit the BLOG, so I think it's time to reflect on what I've learnt.

I guess, I should rewind to the very beginning "Once upon a time there was this man who went to uni to study..." That's probably not the best place to start... Going back to 2008, I did enrol to study "Nexus" in my first year of the course, but due to the fact that my wife and I were having a baby it was too much to do two subjects (at that particular time), so I dropped "Nexus". I guess, this experience left me fearful of "Nexus", and I put it off as long as I could, making me think it was some scary thing - which it hasn't turned out to be!!! (Mandy, I'm sure you're glad to hear this)

Now that I'm 8 Week, I feel that my mind set has completely changed. I came in thinking "this is totally not relevant to me", and now find myself thinking "man, this stuff is really useful..." As somebody who is transitioning out of Education, I can see how the content we are learning is relevant to a variety of contexts, and I can see how we've actually been part of a Guided Learning experience through doing the "Nexus" course.

I've learnt a lot of stuff along the way, I've used "Wonder Wheel", I've had a go at Binary searches, I've learnt about the Internet Search Process, and about the importance of Interventions as part of the "Guided part" of the Guided-Inquiry process, and that's just the stuff I can think of now at 9:30pm at night with my wife looking over my shoulder waiting to get onto the computer to write an email. Oh, and I've learnt about the SLIM process, and put together my first proper BLOG! Yay!

Anyway, this may be my last entry.

Cheers
Stef
