About Me

SYDNEY, NSW, Australia
I was brought up in a generation that was extremely private so it's quite hard for me to share a profile. I will begin at the beginning. I'm a mature age student in the GDLT at CQU. I am a Registered Nurse who has had 25 years in Nursing. Twenty of those as an Enrolled Nurse. I am often in charge of a 32 bed surgical ward situated at a Hospital in Sydney. I am a mother of four, ages 27, 25, 11 and 4. Grandmother of two. In the back of my mind I've always wanted to be a teacher but the opportunity never came up until now. I am finding this subject ICT extremly exhausting due to the fact that all of the tools I've pretty much never heard of. I have used computers in my workplace to write nursing notes, lookup information including test results, and order clinical tests for my patients but thats the extent of it. I have seen powerpoint presentations many times as you have to keep up with your knowledge in Nursing, however I've never constructed a presentation. While this course has been exhaustive it has also been exhilerating. I look forward to the Journey.

Group 2 tools - Multimedia Images and video

W hen looking at multimedia images I came across a great site pics4learning.com.  It has loads of images for educational purposes.  They say a picture says a thousand words but I think it says much more than that. Today we are surrounded by images constantly in our everyday life.  Television not only in our homes but on our smartphones, ipods, ipads and even in our cars, planes and trains.  Information brochures even on the backs of some toilet cubical doors.  The youth of today would not know a world without constant images.  As learners try to equate thier learning to everyday life it is important that images are encorporated into thier educational world. Throughout my blog I have inserted images to add not just colour and interest but to also stimulate thinking and  to be thought provoking.
At the top of my blog I have inserted a slideshow from photobucket.  Below I've added in a photo. What descriptive words come to mind when looking at the image below. I'm sure there would be many and varied.
