Views of Blogging

My views on blogging, weren’t very positive as I never really thought it would impact me or make me think any different about someone else’s educational journey. However, after this assignment was introduced I realised how good blogging is as it allows me as a student to share my thoughts and feelings and also read […]

Organisation and time management

As I work full time hours, having assignment deadlines was hard to manage. However, I planned my weeks in advance to ensure my deadlines were met and I had enough time to myself. I organised my days and weeks in a specific order.

For the module ‘Introduction to Teaching’ our assignment was to plan and prepare a micro-teach. This was nerve-wrecking as I haven’t done this before. I didn’t know how I’d do and if I’m doing the teaching right. This was a confidence booster as I planned and prepared a 30 minute lesson for my classmates who […]

Referencing

The first most important thing I learnt at University was how to reference, as I came from a traditional school/sixth form background I didn’t have the knowledge on how to reference as I used to use the typical method – bibliography. When I started university, I was then taught how to reference. This was a […]

Whilst preparing for University, I knew this was a big step for me so I did everything to prepare myself. I even read blogs to prepare myself, this motivated me to become a better reader and writer. It also encouraged me to use the Internet for different purposes.
