Second workshop (voluntary)

What did I do?

During the past week I set up a blog, an eportfolio at my space and I looked up jargin I was unfamiliar with. The self initiative I took during the week in exploring blogs and e-portfolios paid also off for the other members as I was able to share my experiences and help when similar problems were encountered.

I also challenged myself with setting up a second blog at blogger to see if I could connect them, which was successful. I was also finally able to register an account with mahara, so I can create an e-portfolio there. With the increasing exposure of some of my details on the web, my concern about misuses and protection grew. I would like to investigate security on the web further before putting personal information on my eportfolios.

How did I react?

I was happy with my accomplishments, but I am also concerned about exposing to much private information onto the web.

What did I learn?

  • I learned to set up two blogs and how to interconnect them
  • I learned how to set up an eportfolio account
  • I also experienced that research in this environment can have its drawbacks: As getting interrupted by other members can throw one off what he/she is doing at the time and therefore, slow one down. (Do not get this wrong people, I am still very happy to help others as I am sure I will need help, too-it is just a reflection here.)
