Reflections for this week in EDUC 391.


I had to let it simmer for a few days to get a good grasp on what it was that I needed to understand about my presentation. After letting it simmer over the weekend I think I have narrowed it down a considerable bit. This was the first time I actually articulated this idea, and though at the time it was crystal clear in my mind it became obvious to me as I presented that the idea was still very raw. I have been reading some articles and visiting some websites, as well as databases and search engines that I believe are going to help with a lit review and to polish my presentation to make a better proposal.

Looking back, I need to work on my delivery a little bit. I need to slow down the pace and not rush through so that I can devote enough time to each component of my proposal. I also need to get a good review of the literature to establish real need as opposed to just talking about a need that could be the offspring of my subjective bias. Is there a real need for this? This is the question I am trying to answer. Based on my conversations during the last few days with some teachers and librarians there is a need, but I need to put a spin on my approach to make a more solid case.

Overall I think last week’s presentation was a success. Not because I delivered an awesome presentation, but rather because by taking the first step early on I might have started on a course that will lead me a to potential master’s project. The hardest thing sometimes is taking the first step. Well, I have taken that first step now. My next steps are to do a good lit review to establish need, and to discuss in more detail and with more eloquence the ABCD’s and the six principles.

I think this is doable, and am feeling good for getting this opportunity early on to start throwing my thoughts down on paper!

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
