And so on to NZ 2.0, at the same time that the big white Open Polytechnic folder is glaring at me because I’ve got a 2,000 word assignment due. Not a big assignment, by most people’s standards, and I can probably talk about 2,000 words a minute, but to find the time to read all the material, digest it, research material that’s not provided by the OP (excuse me, but for $560 I did not expect to have to go and find my own stuff as well), and then write about it, is just asking a bit too much.
Surprisingly, the NZ 2.0 won out, because the moment I opened the link I was totally engrossed! Whereas before I’ve struggled with learning from the screen, I’m more a read a paper, write notes, swig wine, reread the paper, check my notes to see I’ve understood it, swig wine, pull out relevant points and write them on stickies, run out of wine kind of gal, this module really grabbed me. It’s still a technical application, but the material is more policy based, and that’s my work background, so I was totally hooked.
What a fantastic way to share learning, across so many organisations, and still make use of all the technology. The information is so easy to find, and as the sites are all information based, rather than technically based, there’s very little computer jargon. The technical stuff is still there, but it doesn't feel technical, it feels informative, helpful and friendly. This, so far, is the only module that I will subscribe to afterwards, and use for my OP studies, and any other studies I do. It’s interesting, it feels relevant to the work we do, it’s up to date, and I love it love it love it.
I absolutely LOVED the Porirua Emergency Blog - sounds like such a contradiction in terms - but whoever came up with that idea deserves a pay rise. As soon as I found out how I’ll add it to this blog, it’s genius!
