Flexible Learning Course

So far joining the flexible learning course Leigh has helped the Central Community Learning Centres by setting up Skype so we can all communicate to each other. This has proved very successful for all of us. We communicate on a daily basis with each other mainly one on one conversations. Any problems and queries can be solved and/or talked over in an instant. Skype is very easy to learn to use.
Next we joined up with Leigh in Wanaka on th 26th Feb to set up my delicious account and talk over the course.
I found setting up delicious abit confussing. You need to use numbers and letters so i needed to use a different password than my usual one.
Leigh showed me how to post sites to my delicious account. It will be interesting to see if i remember how to do this when i'm on my own.
Vida came with us to Wanaka and she is also helping me with my Blog. Vida is a student from last year and is the CLC supervisor for Alexandra. It is great to have her on board and have her help though this course.
My background is hairdressing which was along time ago. I completed my 3 year apprentiship in Queenstown. My theory work had to be done though correspondence which was very hard to do in your spare time. I had papers sent to me every so often that had to be completed by a certain time. I didn't know or see the person behind marking my assignments, they were just papers that came and went to be marked. Flexible Learning has come a long way since then!
