Entry 2 - Sharks! SHARKS!

8:54am -Alarm rings- Struggle out of bed ,quick brush of the teeth, mirror check and run!


9:00am - Heavy night. Back to bed. Please?


Our task today was to get into groups. This consisted of Stacie, Sian and I. We had to search for a website that would help us to gain or show knowledge and understanding of a particular topic. Then deliver it to the rest of the class. Which is fun at 9am in the morning right? No. Our chosen topic was dancing.

After a feeble attempt at delivering my amazing knowledge of dancing to the class, we had to do a group evaluation of each group's website.

The presentation which I found the most reliable and valid was the Sharks presentation led by the miraculous Carl.

Evaluation of Presentation

Good Points

- Brief but sound introduction
- Information well delivered persistently
- Well justified
- Confident throughout
- Consistantly a sense of inclusion
- Eye contact , hence good body language
- Unusual topic

Improvements

- Perhaps a wider range of multimedia


After thought - I feel that the evaluation of several presentations has taught me the essentials of delivering an authentic presentation. My communication skills were definitely improved here.

Now, I sleep.

Entry 1 - A Skill For Life

               Good morning, bore da pawb. I have landed in this peculiar place they call Swansea Metropolitan University, or SMU 'smoo'. I'm Sam, a K Floor resident in Dyfed Halls.
Arriving a week before everyone else, I didn't know what to expect. I was a little nervous though optimistic about the events that were to follow. After finding out I was on an all boys floor, i was furious!!! Then the K Floor boys arrived. These boys are quality, they are the cola bottles in a packet of haribos.

                What I love about meeting people I meet is they are all individual, have their own personalities and backgrounds.

The purpose of these blogs is for me to make a record of how i'm learning to show understanding.


'Skill for life' is essentially the modern term for basic skills; that is, the skill that people need in order to not be seriously disadvantages in their economic and social lives. ICT has transformed society and is a major influence on the way we live, work and learn'

So ICT with Mandy Peace for a while... let's go.
