My DT file in my head is like a bag of used wool all unraveled and in a tangle with one another. There are so many unanswered questions and solutions in regards to wikis in blogs concerning the P.Arts. In my haste not to be left behind with the help of Johanna I opened a blog but I am now wondering whether that was the best option for 'what?' As i am not sure I know yet 'what' i want to share with the wider internet audience. Soooooo before a rush off on another tangent and close down my blog to pursue my interest and experience in wiki I am going to take some time to just STOP and observe. I need to be smart about my choice and use of the time I am able to steal away for this focus.

David came and saw me but at present couldn't offer many suggestions and needed time to think what could be done as far as reflecting and using wiki/blog. He recognised what he referred to as a 'bottle neck' scenario for me, with not enough time and resources at my finger tips to record and reflect within a session. Much to ponder.......

At present however I am sharing music with other classes and their blogs by capturing activities on a flip mino (as my camera does not have the parts we need and Dick Smith has no answers.) or getting class teachers into record and then uplift onto their class blogs.

NOW FOR A VENT: It is all rather too time consuming and to be honest, for example here I am at the end of the day writing a reflection when I have lots of other more pressing things I could be doing with my time and that is doing it rather than talking about it!!!! There is a LIFE outside this COMPUTER world.Nothing beats a real time face to face connection. I love the rapport I have built with this school community from one on one personal conversations with people..
