It is time to reflect on this blog of reflections. In essence, I have found it a most enjoyable and useful aspect of my progress towards becoming a quality Primary School teacher.
I was a little dubious at first, wondering how I would find it to write down my thoughts in a (notionally) public domain. But I soon overcame these concerns and quite looked forward to my blogging times. It has remained quite a time consuming occupation - not the fault of the blog, just my nature while being on the computer and trying out different things.
It has been very useful to actually be 'forced' to put my reflections in ICT into words. Both in recognising my own use of ICT, seeing where I am proficient and where it is necessary to develop further, and the use if ICT in schools. Through blogging about my experiences I generally came up with more ICT uses than I had initially thought.
My blogging varied from having to write because I knew it was going to be checked soon and writing in between times because I thought I had something vaguely interesting to write about. I hope to continue to use this blog as a means of reflection, and I plan to extend its use beyond just ICT use in school. So, in reference to the title, this will hopefully not be the last blog. But without the incentive of the PGCE course, will it be harder for me to keep it up??
