Tuesday 11th January- 2nd Day

So it was my second day and today we were given some new software to try out. As well as this we were to be given a tour of the hospital from Digby as well as our ID's. The software we were asked to practise with was called GLOmaker and was created by London Met University. This is also similar to Presi and also Microsoft PowerPoint.
After playing with it for around an hour, we came to the conclusion that the software was good but it wasn't great compared to the others, as it was a free software we didn't expect it to be good, there were a few advantages such as the ability to perform a quiz if necessary and it is easy to use. Apart from that the software won't be used in the near future.
Apparently we had been working 'too hard' over the past 2 days, but I admit I couldn't help it, after being out of work for so long, you just want to get to work and I realise I only have 6 weeks to learn as much as possible before I'm on my own again.
At the end of the day Digby came forward with a few projects for us that we could work on, one of them we would start tomorrow using the prezi tool that we had used on our first day. A presentation was given to him which teaches 'Treating patients with learning disabilities' it was our job to use the prezi and edit it to make it look more exciting and stand out. We would start on our first project tomorrow and couldn't wait.
