BULLETED Pre-project Skills:
REFLECTION: This project reflects several new skills in my repertoire. Previously, I had used Word to prepare papers and
type exams.

Resources Used:
As I worked on compiling my learning log, I used the following resources, none of which I had previously
used at all, or to any great extent:
• SCRIBD
• Wiki editing tools to put up my learning log on my e-portfolio Wiki

New Skills Practiced:

The primary new skills that I used in producing my learning log were the following:
• Using tables

 • Using spell and grammar check to ensure that everything was as clear and correct as possible.
• Using SCRIBD to upload my learning log to the e-portfolio Wiki

Next Steps:
I have much more to learn, including the following:
• Increasing my comfort with word processing and presentation tools, including – but not exclusive to
– the Microsoft © suite.
• Working on my writing, and using technology productivity tools to help me with it.
