So, getting reading to post unit six and then I noticed something. I never posted five. Pretty sure this is one of those instances where I wrote something in my head, posted in my head and neglected to verify if my wishful computer to human brain interface was able to directly upload without the use of typing hands. Someday... someday.
The variety of materials has been useful. I love having text based information to read, but without actually using some of it right away the readings have little relevance at this time. This causes my technology literacy rate to slow. I know in time some of the information will re-surface and come in handy, but I fear the amount of reading is difficult to absorb. I do not think there is enough time to do the text and the practise of the text in one full class, so it is up to me to motivate myself.
The videos and podcasts are a great help. I still have yet to have an issue with any of the tasks other than minor easy to troubleshoot problems. As a scientists, I am used to following complicated directions without error, so this makes for pretty boring blogging and discussion posts. To overcome this I probably need some major project to motivate me, and one that does not have explicit instructions. Not that I want that, it scares me, but it would probably make me have to think a lot more. I have a mix of learning styles. I can learn by reading if I can picture it in my head. Otherwise, I have to kinestethically do something to learn.
Overall, I would say there is a decent amount of variety, just a wee too much text to read. It feels like a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book.
