So I came to realise over the past few days that I have been quite agile is dodging the task of writing another blog post.  I was thinking it needed to be poised, polished, annotated, articulate , etc…. (some of which I am not!)  So of course, I write reflections about the modules and readings wanting them to be of a high post-graduate standard – then I would overthink, edit and not post.  So what can I learn from this, askes the lifelong learner who is feeling a bit in over her head.  *gasp*

I have learnt this is my space to vent, hash out ideas, revisit (and maybe cringe a little or a lot) and have fun with my learning.  I discovered something about myself a while ago and I was reminded of it recently.  I never do well when I try to be anything other than myself.  I was presenting to some of my colleagues a few weeks ago about GoogleForms.  I had planned it with another colleague and he gave the original  presentation.  He did so professionally and in a logical way.  I was presenting a follow-up, using the same Google Slide show, for those who couldn’t make the first presentation.  I felt obligated to give the exact same presentation, I was nervous and uninspired.  Once I had given it, I knew I wasn’t being true to myself and should have just given the presentation in my true ‘Kathy’ style.  A lesson learned!

So my point is, after having the online meeting with you all, I endeavour to not shy away from blogging, to be myself when I do, and maybe add a little bit of content once in a while.

P.S. I did do some editing on this blog
