Week Two: What is the Internet....

Wow..... I am completely petrified!!!! What is the internet???? Well there was heaps of study material to witness which was great, The little video presentations kind of flicked the switch in my head on..... I now am aware that the internet has been around for 40 + years, not 15 like I previously would have believed, but I am still trying to cypher all the information in my head.... (Packet switching,  TCP/IP and all the gobbily goop that goes with it). The iLecture was fantastic, I think I should actually listen to the lectures before I begin any of the weeks work, because the lecture really broke each little piece of information down into so called laymen terms... which is what i need. So I am closer to starting the first question and answer assignment!!! which is good.
Any ways that is all from me.... Maybe as we progress through the course my blogging will be a little more inspiring :) Bye for now

Week One: Introduction to WEB101.... My reflection

So here we go week one…… How did I find week one, hmmmm Well I really liked the introduction to WEB101 lecture…. I am finding the whole layout of WEB101 quite daunting in comparison to my EDP units, the entire blackboard is set up differently, but I am sure I will get my head around it….

In regards to the material I witnessed this week:I found the Nameckr really informative; there are so many sites out there that I have no idea about…. I thought honestly that I was up to date and knowledgeable with technology and the internet; um it looks like I have a lot to learn….  I have found a great username that I believe will be useful for me in consolidating all my usernames TheTaz85 will be my username; I already use the name on Facebook, Twitter iTunes …. Hmmm then I found out that TheTaz85 is taken on YouTube…. Hmmmm who would have used this username???

That is my small but concise reflection of the week that was!!!

See you next week Cheers The Taz!!!

All about me :)

Hi my lovelies….

This is my first experience blogging; I am a keen Facebook status updater…. I never seem to mind telling everyone about the great mundane tasks that I do on a daily basis, so let’s see if this blog is just as boring…. But it is all about me and my feelings, so how can it be boring….

Just to start I will let you in on a little secret if you don’t know me…. My name is Taryn McDonald and I live in Sunbury, Victoria…. Yep the birthplace of the Ashes, he he he…. I am a mother of 2 lovely little children ( Lovely sometimes any way) Tahlia is my daughter who is 7 and in grade 2 and Tyson who is 4 and currently in Kinder, I will be sending him off to school next year J (that’s right grin ear to ear…..).

I am currently studying towards a Bachelor of Education (Primary) degree, I have completed 1 year thus far, and hope to continue onto a secondary college degree….. (Maybe).

I have spent my working years so far baking…. Mmmm yes I am a pastry cook and a keen enthusiastic cake decorator…. Well I decorate cakes for FUN…. Although it is not always fun, the pressure gets to me at times, mostly because I have never been taught the proper skills, I just make it up as I go and impress myself with each cake….. But that is enough about me for now!!!! I will now be using this blog to reflect on my studies within WEB101 web communications

Cheers The Taz!!!!
