Well I'm a little bit apprehensive about writing this.
I generally don't enjoy posting things online for others to read because I am usually worried about how other people may take them. Even when it comes to updating my facebook statuses (which I do once in a blue moon) I will sit there for about twenty minutes sometimes, thinking of a good way to word something and even then I will wonder if I have made myself look silly.
But I suppose a part of this course is about learning different techniques of expressing yourself in this way and so I hope I become a bit more confident in expressing my personal opinions and commenting on other people's posts by the end of it all.
I'm still a little confused about everything with all of the information that we have been given but I hope that it will all become clear once the course begins. I've had a read through most things and actually I can't believe how much I already rely on web 2.0 features. I use facebook almost everyday and many casting websites when I am looking for jobs and auditions. I also like to use you tube to see if there have been shows posted up online of the jobs I would like to audition for.
I have also learned a lot from the handbook that I had never heard about before! The google reader is actually amazing!. I wish I'd known about that a while ago, It could have saved a lot of time! (its a bit like the news feed on facebook but for updates on all of the different websites that you subscribe the reader to)
Unfortunately I can't attend the enrollment days because I'm working abroad. I'm disappointed because I would have liked to have met everyone and hopefully got a bit more of a grasp on the course.
But I'll keep an eye on the google reader to check for any updates.
Hope to hear from you all, Best wishes Emily

Hi Emily, nice to meet you-i'm Alicia and i've just set up my blog. So I just had a read of yours, and I was hoping you could just have a look at mine to check that I didn't leave it on some kind of 'private' security setting.
ReplyDeleteI'm also excited but a bit apprehensive about the course- I can't go to the Induction days either as I' working in Switzerland. Where are you at the moment, anywhere exotic?!
Alicia :)
