It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post…so little time and so much to do on the CALL. It is not the workload but the fact that there is more time being spent to troubleshoot and follow the links to understand. Although this is probably natural since this is a ‘hands-on’ type of learning.

From 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., I was preoccupied with learning about the Illuminate Live. I had started eating my dinner but never quite finished it. There was really no problem, except waiting for the downloads and then waiting for the group participants. As usual, the tools or potentials of usage had to be experienced, but I downloaded the user guide for participants which helped alot. The only thing was if I had read it before the Live session, it would have been better. Anyway, live and learn.

But, my confidence has risen a bit in dealing with the web tools. I feel like I can now start picking and choosing rather than the all-lost and overwhelmed feeling I had. Maybe it is the exposure and practice, but I also think it’s getting to know that the ‘web’ like a newborn baby is not that fragile and breakable or destructive. The only thing is that the novelty is wearing off and I wonder if it only me or do others also experience this?

I still need time to work with ‘Hot Potatoes’. I like it and believe it is useful in my job. The only problem is that I want to read about it in detail but can’t find the literature. I guess I am more the type of person who need to know the background before really trying out the buttons. Maybe some help will come…the help in Hot Potatoes was not adequate. I could use a scaffolder next to me anytime I work on this. Well, with patience, again, I should live and learn…
