“I think that they are very useful and it is growing on me. I used to

hate it with a vengeance, but now I think I was just being lazy. It is cutting edge technology.”

Monica

I found today's class most informative. I particularly

enjoyed the interactive learning session. Love the blended learning. It makes learning interesting and creative.”

Anastasia

My husband now calls me a computer nerd! I even moved from

this web site and set up my medicare on line to find out where

my children’s immunisation records are. If I can use this Wiki to save my work and do assignments I feel I will finally know more about computers

than my children.” Sylvia

“I feel a bit overwhelmed and very much lost. I am out of my comfort zone.”

25 July

“Blended learning is a quick way of learning computer skills plus the unit at the same time.”

“Today I can honestly say I enjoyed myself .The wiki space is a fantastic idea I have been using the information and even printing out for reference. I don't think I really realized how much I had learnt until I looked back on my skills when I first started. I feel proud of myself and thanks Sally for teaching them to me.” Marina
