An All-Hallows Eve cobweb and dust-encrusted account of Ty's preliminary weeks as a new student on the PCET teacher training course!

As suggested in the above blog title, what follows is an account of the thoughts and feelings I have experienced as a first year student during the opening weeks of the PCET course at Swansea Metropolitan University (Townhill division!).
Well I'll be damned!!  I seemed to have mastered the in's and out's of how to access and send a blog! Whilst having a relatively long-term experience of using a computer, in the sense of having acquainted myself with the requirements of home computing via a succession of PCs and laptops and having found my way around Facebook (and its trite attractions) and the medium of email messaging, Word and a few other delights, I had not previously sent a blogg message (as opposed to reading other peoples blog sites).
 In truth, during these opening weeks my experience of the ICT element of the course has been daunting and not a little worrisome! I suppose the key reason for this has been a profound lack of confidence in applying myself to IT in a controlled teaching environment with the consequence that I tend to get into a right old kerfuffle with what should be reasonably straight forward tasks. There is an annoying tendancy on my part to lapse into wondering mind syndrome. This is a symptom of the lack of confidence vis the IT and a punishment for crimes against technical competence! Thankfully there are more technically competant fellow students who at this stage I lean-on somewhat and who are supportive and wonderfully helpful.
