14.  “Reflect and Connect 2011” has been a fantastic experience for me.
My confidence with using digital technology has soared. I have learnt about Blogs,
Wikis, Ning, Twitter, Mind maps, CoP, PLE, PLN, ePortfolios, Moodle - not a moment
to get bored.
Honestly, I am a bit disappointed that it’s all over.

 We rarely as busy professionals have the opportunity to invest in our own
development and reflect on the work we do. I found the Reflect and Connect course
stimulated my thinking, encouraged further enquiry and expanded my personal
learning networks into areas I never imagined before. If you are thinking about
embarking on the Reflect and Connect course I highly recommend it.

 Reflect and Connect 2011 is an outstanding course. It was a fabulous experience
with learning new ways to communicate with others via Twitter, Wiki and
Voicethread plus more. Mahara an open source e-portfolio with it being an
outstanding resource for human beings. With the creating of my artefacts I have
built a magnificent e-portfolio. The weekly Elluminate session on Mondays 6:30-
7:30pm was informative and great chatting with trainers and other participants in
the course. The overall result is that this is a great course.

 This course has given me so many new skills in the e-learning area. It has
changed my perspective about social networking tools and I have even participated.
