I have spent the whole day researching for Assignment 2. When I overlooked the criteria and objectives of this assignment I thought it was going to be simpler. How I was wrong.

I choose to select the topic 'Technology assisting Visual Arts in the classroom' and I have to say there was not an extensive amount of information available as for instance Mathematics, Literacy or Science. I wanted to choice a subject I was not only interested by I wanted to challenge myself. This resulted to a lot more reading, searching and a visit to the local library.

I think I have found some really interesting information about my topic which has made me what to do further research on 'Visual Art Technology availability in Australian Classrooms'. I am happy with the reliability of the sources I have used as they have had many years experience in the field and are now trying through their research to make visual art technology more assessable in all Australian classrooms.

To my disappointment, I had a little trouble trying to locate the website 'TeacherTube' for my research. I don't know if it was just having technical difficulties, being updated or had too many users connecting but I could not connect and the site would not load. I really wanted to experience and explore this website for my research and my own learning. I will continue to try and connect to it.

As one of the requirements for the assignment was to use the software EndNote (which is a referencing software), I have to say I love it and can't imagine not having access to this wonderful program for the rest of my degree. It is amazing how easy it is to use and create all the references. The only real issue I found was that there is not really a category for a whole 'website' reference. I decided to create a 'mutimedia' reference instead so I could enter the URL and it appears within the reference. Otherwise I love EndNote!!!

All I really have to do for this assignment now is editing, make my word document into 'googledocs' format, create a short introduction to my topic on my research page and then create a link to my 'googledoc'. Yay! Another assignment bites the dust!!! :-D
