A difficult task this one. As the euphoria and level of involvement with this course waxes and wanes, it is a complex task to actually sit down and summarise the last 12 weeks. On top of this is the busyness of work at this time of year and the need to wait for and then absorb the feedback on the previous assessment tasks.
Then, there is the intimidation of seeing the highly creative and polished responses like Lisa’s movie, Bradley’s CMap construction and the Drexler production based on the Common Craft model. All different, all fantastic.
So how do I follow my theme from throughout this course of attempting to apply the principles and learnings to my specific work situation? I decided on a version of a digital story with all its strengths and weaknesses. Like all assignments it helped me to crytallise what I had learnt from CCK08 and well as learning a new set of technology skills I didn’t have before. I created this in Adobe Photoshop Elements (v4.0) and exported it as a pdf.

I look forward to any comments.

Comments from george:
Thanks for the final project.
Glad to hear that you found the experience valuable (putting the
presentation together).
The metaphor theme is great! Metaphor has a way of communicating much more
.
effectively (and from more dimensions) than linear text or explanations.
Weaving in your existing interest in photography makes a lot of sense! And,
I enjoyed the images your provided as well
As you were talking about the quality of your networks…great statement
about “attracting people towards me”. There is something about a connection
between people – especially in the pursuit of developing expertise – that is
difficult to define.
The inclusion of work by Pollard, Viplav, Drexler, Lane, and other learners
shows you’ve spent time pulling conceptual elements together. Great!
Like you, I was impressed with the quality of work that learners during the
) feel
course provided. I would hope that participants (such as yourself
the value of their contributions to other learners.
