Assignment One

Monday 17th April, 2017

Wow! This whole assignment business is a whole lot harder than I thought it would be! Just trying to find a topic to get started on was difficult. It's so helpful to talk to others who are not only on the course but also to those who have previously been on the course and 'come out the other side'!

Things that I have struggled with so far:

• Choosing a topic to work on. - not because I am so awesome that I don't have to work on anything but the opposite really. So many to choose from.
• Laptop failing. My Macbook refused to power up and so I was 4 days without a laptop and while iPads are great for some things, you just cant beat a good old laptop. Thanks to Dazzler for solving the issue, at least temporarily.
• Finding enough time between teaching, management, home and Mindlab.
• Cyclone Cook - ripped through our town and took with it one of our trees and the power. Consequently, all devices in our house went flat and living rurally meant that there was no easy way to charge them, so no research, or assignment.
• Easter - family time.

Now that I have asked for an extension, chosen my topic and planned what and how I will attack this assignment, I am ready to hit the ground running - tomorrow...
