Time to prepare for Year 2

Well hello followers of my blog.  After a lovely summer/time off it is now time to prepare myself for the start of Year 2, which I am rather excited about and looking forward to.  The next time I complain about the work I will need to re-read this to remind myself that I have actually missed it during my time off!!!!  So refreshed and ready here comes Year 2!!! 

Referencing

Harvard Reference Generator Tool: Harvard/APA Referencing created for essays, reports and dissertations | Neil's Toolbox

Hopefully in Year Two we will all have perfect referencing!!! It looks like a good tool.

Thought I would blog this clip as having completed a 10 week course with Home-Start Uk I am going to be visiting my first family this week.  I am excited but nervous and hope I live up to the families expectations of what Home-Start offer.....

Completion of the Warwick Skills Portfolio Award

I have just sent in my 1000 word final blog entry for the Warwick Skills Portfolio Award and I am feeling pretty pleased with myself at completing this.   I have enjoyed all of the courses and I have taken something away from each and every one of them.  Although the award is completed I will continue to attend workshops that I feel will benefit me and yes fellow students you will all know about these workshops when I put them on Facebook!!!! (hehe)

Year 2 with Lin

It is hard to believe that we have talked about Year 2. 
Year 2 with Lin in this order
10 weeks masculinities
10 weeks ICT
5 weeks research

Year 1 is nearly completed and what an achievement.  It has not been without its ups and downs, however I am still 100% that this course was and still is the right decision for me. 
So not many weeks left of year 1 so here is to a successful year 2 with some fab friends!!!!

Presentation Tools

Thought I would blog these as I do not have the time to really look into these at the minute, but they may come in use for the next presentation.  Many thanks to Ihar Ivanhou for sharing these with us.

I really like the idea of recording/using someone elses voice to record and play back your presentation, the pressure of standing up and presenting is taken away with the use of this tool helloslide    .http://www.helloslide.com/

Slideshare is somewhere we can share our presentations on the web

also screener where you can record your voice but in addition you can record yourself as your talking so your image can be seen
