"Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or die."

That's a quote from my favourite poet, dear old Robert Burns, the Scott, whom I usually allude to when things go pear shaped. I think he was referring to things bigger than a WebQuest and downloading to H Drive. I have dearly departed from the QuestGarden and moved on to a more celestial world in Dreamweaver. I have even tried to connect to H Drive from my computer with imported expertise from a dear friend with a very high level of skills in technology, and guess what? It didn't work. I know I shall always have fond memories of CLN618. I can't remember much about any other University subject I've ever studied over the years.

The Lad, my one and only!

Posted by Picasa The little hero in the fore-ground is my grandson, Liam. I love him dearly although he is such a little tearaway. He has lived with me for five years. It appears as if he may be the one and only. He goes to pre-school.

I find it all too amazing when I finally accomplish something. I have yet to work out how to put this crazy little flower, which I sometimes feel like when splashes of brilliance come my way, on to other blogs when I post. I must admit that "in the goodness of time" things happen.

A bridge too far!

Maybe, I am finally getting somewhere and beginning to understand the theory behind social constructivism and how it relates to pedagogy. The WebQuest has been commenced, jettisoned, re-commissioned, abandoned and resurrected. The trials and tribulations of doing something one loves so much has a lot to recommend it, even spending Friday afternoon's and Saturday's at the University are a small sacrifce to make in order to be able to create a blog and post to a Wiki. My friends think I am going crazy when I talk about posting on the Wiki and keeping my Blog up-to-date. Mind you, much more is said than what is done.

As you can see, all systems GO.

Wow! I have hit a brick wall getting my head around Webquests. I think the traffic to the sites is causing congestion as I have not been able to get into the Quest Garden to smell the roses. It has all been so frustrating, so I am typing my curriculum experience out in Word. Hopefully, I will develop something that resembles the task eventually.
