OK, so all my spouting about turning over a new leaf this semester has amounted to nought. And now I am in mad assignment mode, trying to get too much done, too well, in too little time.

I will be on placement soon, and I am hoping then, without 3000+ word assignments looming, there will be opportunities to share the many things I am learning in this course with you.

Until then... Adieu.

PS - I am reading the Monster-Blood Tattoo books by D. M. Cornish, and enjoying them immensely. It is the second time I have read the first two, and I am enjoying them even more than I did the first time. Yes, always time for reading, no matter what. It just happens to be while I'm eating breakfast instead of "just 'cos" at the moment.

The following is the slideshow I created for my first ETL523 assignment (uploaded onto SlideShare). I am far from completely happy with it, and am yet to know what mark it received. I will be presenting it next week, in the scenario of a teacher librarian presenting to a school staff meeting. I feel that it was rushed, as I did not have nearly as much time as I would have liked to spend on it. If you download it you can see the notes to go with it as far as I am aware (be warned that the notes needed to be written in an academic style, and are quite extensive!).

Now to prepare myself for the actual presentation... preparations so far making me more concerned rather than less! I am not sure whether to condense what I have written into notes, or to speed read what I have got as I present it. Will practise both ways and hopefully that will give me a good idea about what I should do.

PS - those pictures on the first slide were joined perfectly when I made it, I'm not sure why there is a gap between them now :(
