Reflecting apon ITC

Upon reflection over the past three days of the ITC module I am surprised and extremely pleased with the amount of ITC knowledge that I have gained. The main skills I have developed in my ICT lessons have been to develop my own personal blog and to evaluate valid web based sources for use in academic research. Although, I have found the task of creating and developing this blog rather challenging, I have found the experience very rewarding as it is apparent that the ability to develop a blog could be a very useful tool that would enable me to develop as a teacher within the PCET setting. 

As a group we have evaluated the use of social networking as a teaching tool within the PCET setting. Thus, concluding that social networking site such as facebook and twitter have many strengths as a teaching tool, which may include utilising forums and inserting links to various valid sources associated with the learning activity. However, it was noted that as a teaching aid such tools should be used with discretion and there should be a clear divide between personal and professional social networking accounts.
