My first task was to create this blog so I can enter through the portal to the world of eLearning. "Blogging" has been a word spinning around me for a few years and something which I always said - "One day I will do my own blog and let the world know about my wonderful world." But it never happened. As, with so much in a life already crammed, it is the imperative to do so that is the driver.

My connections so far to eLearning have been facebook and a little twittering. I have struggled my way around the UTS website and was relieved to learn that it is somewhat "clunky" so don't feel quite so bad. At least I managed to get the readings downloaded.

I have such a long journey to go. I don't know where I sit on the pessimism/optimism of the eLearning debate at this point in time. I am a little on the overwhelm side and will hopefully have an expanded understanding of the theoretical perspective as well as so much more practical experience by the end of this semester. I will then be able to tell you better on which side of this fence I sit.
