The aim of the tasks in module WBS3002 were to establish and further develop the understanding of my Professional practice through exploring various theories and performed tasks like blogging.
There are three course readers within the module.
-Professional communications technology
-Reflective Practices
-The Networked Professional. By using my blogs to illiterate thoughts.
Professional Communications Technology

By rewriting my current CV and commenting on others, developed my critical skills It was also the beginning stages of familiarising myself with other individuals on the BAPP course. You can find my CV is currently posted on my Profile
Blog examining if web based technologies advance professional practice
I read the course reader on Professional communications technology commenting on a range of Ideas and theories that were provided in the course reader.

I set up you tube channel and created a forty-five second a video clip about starting out on BAPP.
My blog was set up on bogspot.com domain. I enjoyed this task as I got to be creative when creating my profile page. I used prior knowledge from when I set up my personal myspace.com profile page. I attempted to make m profile look attractive so people would be encouraged to read my blog. I learnt how to use Wiki's, which I later needed when producing my end of semester assignment.
I posted images to an online web site. I realised that google have a lot of functions other than e-mail, like Reader, Docs and Sites. Through out the semester we were given the option to use various web domains to produce tasks. I chose to use the domains that were affiliated/linked to Google so I did not have to create various user names and passwords. I developed my use of power point when a class member gave me some pointers.
I discovered the dependency I have of Web 2.0 tools as they facilitate global communication; I also became aware that it would be detrimental for me not to safeguard my information by backing it up on a data storage unit.
