Final Reflection on PebblePad - End of week 2

Hi,

I've found this week extremely useful in exploring the various functions of the program as I was only aware of the most basic elements.

I think that PebblePad could be very useful for students, for both the various functions available which could facilitate course work, but also as a means to trying to give them some form of organisation.

The only (slightly) annoying thing I have discovered is that when you cut and paste into or from PebblePad that all format is lost in text, it all just appears as a continuous paragraph... maybe I am doing something wrong?

After looking at the CV options I think that this provides a very structured means by which to compose a CV (the benefits of saving and returning to it later are also to be considered).

I can't say I was impressed by the Blogs, simply because the templates appeared a little dull for my liking - but I'm sure there are ways of jazzing them up that I'm simply not technologically aware enough to recognise.

Overall, I feel much more positive about PebblePad than I did by the start of the week, although I'm still worried by our PHE413 assessment (on which I have made very little progress so far!).

Anyway, I have finally caught up now and completed week 2.

I'm now about to set off to Doncaster in the hope that the Rovers luck must be due for a change some time soon... Here's praying for a Rovers goal-fest and a Paul Heffernan hat-trick tomorow!

Ian
