Learning opportunism
Hi All
Under a bit of time pressure at moment. My current activity on my work-related etutor course is draining the study time I would normally devote to OU. I recently described myself as a learning opportunist, in that given a few hours either side of a nappy change or a book reading (not the Waterstones variety) I get on the net to blog, tweet, post, weave, search etc. Sounds exciting, and truth is I am benefitting enormously from it all and enjoying to - according to my partner this means I am a nerd. Unfortunately, it's probably true...I don't get out too much, I am obsessive about minor details, I enjoy learning and just don't have the tech-ability the average nerd would have! Anyhow, I must focus on sharing my enjoyment around my demands and ensure that someone benefits from it all apart from me.
