Managing Professional Development on the 29th of September 2011

We had our first lesson by Jay Glover (Managing Professional Development) in the Computer room as we needed to be able to complete the task that will be given. He introduces his self in the class as we all expected for the first lesson and had a little bit of a laugh. After the introduction he has given us very useful resources to get all our courseworks organized. He first told us a little bit about the course then given us copy of how to create a hotmail that is visible between the student and Jay only. Having a College 'hot mail' is efficient to all of the student of higher education as it helps us alot to be organize. In my own point of view it keeps me motivated because I am able to see what I have done so far and what else needs to be done. This is also a way for my teacher to see if I am on track or not. For example; It took a while before I created this blog, therefore, my teacher 'Jay' emailed me and reminded me that I have to post a blog every session.Secondly, he asked us to create a blog site each where we have to post a blog every session for 'Managing Professional Development'. Posting a blog for every session keeps my mind active and practices my brain cells; this is very helpful as it prevents me to be forgetful. Also, having a blog and posting each session I had enables me to refresh my memory especially when the exam comes; I can always check my blog and it will show me which area of the course they have covered so that I know what to revise most. He has taught us how to put picture, email and video on the Blog that we are posting.


This was me when we started the lesson. But, I've been energetic after we had a little break and because Jay was funny and giving us very useful and interesting sources.

When still had time left from my break I have visited and youtube and had a glance of watching this fantastic digimemo pad. It enables you to transfer all your hand writings on your computer.


Lastly, I emailed Jay a short message for him to be able to send the drop box site. The dropbox site is where I can save all my files; it is the best replacement of a pen drive. I can never lose it; this is very useful especially if I am in a hurry and forgotten my USB. I don't want to take a risk especially on the due date of the courseworks because I know that if failed to show any assignments on the due date; they will deduct 10% off my mark when I submit my work 24 hours late and I will fail if I will give it later than 24 hours.

Just want to share this cute video with you Jay! hope it will make your day.see you!
