In 2005 I moved to Australia from Devon, UK, with my husband Gareth and my two children, currently 14 and 12 years. I am originally from Pembrokeshire in Wales. Whilst in the UK I was a police officer for 16 years whilst my husband was in the Royal Navy. This lead to an interesting life! We emigrated for a better way of life and the Royal Australian Navy provided this opportunity for us. I found a new career as an Education Assistant at Leeming SHS Education Support Centre and during 2010 I enrolled as a mature aged student at Murdoch University to embark on a new journey towards becoming a Primary school teacher.
I am aware this will be a slow, but hopefully rewarding process. In the meantime I still enjoy getting out and about pounding the streets to clear my head in between all the sports and school activities of my children.
"A Vital Title"
Posted by Deborah Marjoram on Thursday, May 19, 2011
I found the above captivating title in http://www.quickblogtips.com/files/2011/04/Ben-Barden-101-tips-for-improving-your-blog.pdf. I realise I probably haven't posted enough captivating entries in my reflective journal (blog!!) but, you know what, I have tried. I have heard so many people moan about this unit, but I have learnt so much. I know that although I have read my text book from cover to cover and used it to suggest ideas for the group assignment, I haven't posted direct references to pages. The point I am probably trying to convey is that I have learnt from this, but not in time though! Back to my original thought though, I have attempted, failed often and succeeded in so many different things during this unit. Earlier in the unit I attached a "frustrated with computer" cartoon to a blog post, but I must say that these moments are becoming less. I am much less afraid to have a go at something now. When I first read the Unit guide I was horrified at the description of our assignments (see http://lms.murdoch.edu.au/webct/urw/lc1617847588001.tp1617847610001/cobaltMainFrame.dowebct?appforward=urw/lc1617847588001.tp1617847610001/startFrameSet.dowebct%3Fforward=studentCourseView.dowebct%26lcid=1617847588001 ), but now I am brave, even courageous, I think. I might even miss sitting at this computer so much in the next few weeks, although I'm sure that in researching the exam questions I will find myself here for many hours yet!
