My goals for this week were to finish week three assignments and to get myself to feel more comfortable working with computers. I am still working on finishing week three assignments. I want to finish all of my assignments so that I will have a free weekend and so that I will have everything finished before week four assignments are assigned. As for feeling more comfortable with computers, that is just something that will happen with time. I figure that I will feel more comfortable with computers as I continue working on my assignments in this class. That is one of the main points of this class.
The content addressed this week was not so hard (at least the assignments that i have finished so far). I thought that it was pretty easy to subscribe to a professional mailing list. I subscribed to one about late-talkers. Using the search utilities to search information on my name was very interesting. I also used search utilities to search for articles related to developmental language disorders. I bookmarked the ASHA page, the Internet Public Library, the Merriam-Webster Online page, and the ERIC Digests. I also had to discuss my learning needs and highlights. I still have to do the VARK Inventory, my webliography, and discuss my foundation questions.
As far as how I got my work finished, I came to the library in between classes and i worked on my assignments. I also took advantage of the time i had on Wednesday since we did not have class. I went to the library and worked on my assignments. This helped alot because I had plenty of time to do my work. I could very easily work from my house, but I know that I would be distracted and not want to do my work. Therefore, i find it a lot more convenient for me to go to the library to finish my work.
As a result of the content i explored and the processes i engaged in this week, I have changed my mind on my research. Last week i wanted to research the developmental milestones in children. While researching that topic this week, i came upon late-talkers vs. disorders. This really captured my interest. Therefore, I decided to do my research on that instead.
As far as questions and concerns about this week, the main thing that i am concerned about is the webliography. I know that it is just a rough-rough draft, but i have never done anything like that before. i am not sure how i am supposed to do it. I looked at the past webliographies, and they seemed to really intimidate me because i am not sure that i can do that. i know that i will eventually learn how, but i do not know what to do for it this week. i guess that i will figure it out and have it finished by sunday. If not, then i will be asking for help :-)
