Lulu's notes

It has bee good learning more short cuts and using the controller at Uni. I have been using a lot of them in my own practice already but it's always good to know more.I find using the scrub tool very handy at Uni but at home I'm still using the mouse in my own practice.

  1. The blog is looking good Lulu. I really like the links you have incorporated into it. It is absolutely fine to use the blog for note-taking but I am looking for some more substance to the blog content. That doesn't mean you need to stop how you are using it but can I suggest that you add to how you are using it.

    Some reflection on the content we have covered in class will give you much more insight into what you have learned when you refer back to it later than just the facts about what was covered in class.

    Some images and/or youtube links are always a welcome addition as they will add some dynamism to the blog as your links have.

    Looking forward to future posts.
