Why Journal or Blog?

Keeping an online journal of what your doing is a great way of seeing and demonstrating what your achieving. Great for planning and progress.

Think about how you are using your time.

24 hours per day
168 hours per week
8,760 hours per year

If you are at school from K,P,1 to 12 years at 40 weeks of 30 hrs per week
thats 1,200 hours per year or 16,800 hours at school.

Time is your most valuable quantity, you cannot save it, the 24 hours from yesterday is gone and cannot be used again, what did you achieve? Was it wasted?

What do you or will you have to show for your 16,800 hours at school?

Under More from your gmail account is Blogger, have a look at it. www.blogger.com

Another one is www.wordpress.com

Learn how to use Labels or Tags, important when your trying to find postings down the track.

In your Profile go to Coach and add my email col@dixon.net.au

Have a look at the maths lessons at Khan and do a few before our next meeting, pick lessons that are similar

to what you have done in school.

your grammar, logic and reasoning.
