Week 2: My brief reflection on the course content and Blog making

The second week of my enrollment in "PIDP 3250: Instructional Strategies" has been quite hectic. I had to catch up with the class readings and online discussions while also making sure that I was running on schedule in my preparation of my visual assignment and journal writing. It was a constant reminder that I needed to brush up on my technical skills.

And up until now, I thought that I had it all figured out, and considered myself an independent and self-directed learner. However, when my blog display turned out malformed and unresponsive while adding information on my course progression. I realized that I had to enhance my knowledge of technological tools that are used every day in various professional fields, namely: making a semi-professional looking blog.

With this being said, I am slowly progressing on making the visual project, and would really like to see more comments and feedbacks from my classmates in the discussion forums.

A very interesting video I came across in this context:
