About Sue Waters

I work as an aquaculture lecturer at the WA Maritime Training Centre, Challenger TAFE in Western Australia. I have been working with a range of mobile technologies with students since late 2005. The purpose of my blog, podcast and wiki site is to document my learning journey with mobile and Web 2.0 technology so that I can share my experiences with other lecturers. My main focus is how these technologies can be used practically to benefit lecturers and students.

  1. Hi Sue,

    The best part of blogging for me so far was being able to connect and talk with everyone from different states and countries around the world.

    I find blogging interesting, becaues it gives everyone a chance to talk about themselves or problems going about in the world. I think it’s cool how everyone can just have a place to talk about it all.

  2. Hello Ms. Waters,
    The stubc08 is going great! I’m having loads of fun coming up with new posts. I’ve never really done anything like this. It’s getting harder and harder to come up with the different kinds of posts my teacher and the challenge is making us put up. I love the challenge.
    Have a good day!

  3. Hey, Sue

  5. I think the best part of blogging is being able to share your thoughts with people from all around the world without having to go anywhere. The best part of the competition, is that everyone is required to write about the same thing so we can see what other peoples opinions are on one topic. I also like leaving and recieving comments so you can tell people what you think about their posts, and hear what they have to say about yours.

  6. I like that we are getting a very rare and amazing chance. I know that my class is the only one in my town or even maybe my state that is doing this. The experience is some thing that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life and it has certainly broadened my horizon.

  7. I think that blogging is a good way to communicate with peopl from all over the world, and see the differences, and even sometimes similariteis of all the places in the world. Blogging is definately interesting to me, this is because I have never really communicated with people from other countries, and I have a really good time getting to know events that happen all around the world. Mostly I like talking to people and getting to know them more, but I also like learning more about technology, because I am into alot of those kinds of things, and blogging has taught me alot. This is a once in a lifetime oppertunity too, and I don’t want to waste any moment of it.

  8. Hello. How are you? This competition is very fun and the best part so far is all the new people I have met when making my posts.

  9. Hi Sue,
    The best part of this competition so far was writing about my daily life and All about me. I like writing about myself because every time, I find something is different about myself.

  13. Hi Sue!

    My favorite part of blogging is communicating with people in other countries. I have been commenting back and forth with some great people. I have made friends like Nadine, from Australia, and Stephie and Priscila, from Argentina. This is a great experience for all who are participating!

  14. Hi Sue,
    I am really enjoying this competition. I’ve been commenting on blogs from other countries and it has been awsome seeing the differences between where I’m from and where they are. I have had people from other countries congratulating me on getting into a play that they knew nothing about until now and I think that is pretty cool. I have made friends with people that I never thought I would. This competition has allowed me to use the Internet as part of my homework. It is a great way to lean and have fun at the same time. I have never done anything like this and I think it is a great experience so far.

  15. The best part of blogging is connecting with people from other countries. Some really good things about the competition are commenting on other blogs, learning about everything you can to add to your blog to make it more interesting, and learning more about global issues like poverty.

  16. Hi Sue,
    This competition is going great for me! I am really enjoying writing posts that make me think. I also enjoy being able to communicate with others around the world. Not only was writing the posts fun, but it had me researching more about important issues such as poverty. This experience has been very exciting so far, and I am very pleased to have been able to take part in it. I have learned so much about blogging, and I am sure I will continue it because of this competition. It really made me want to write more! Bye!!

  17. Sue,
    This competition has meant SO much to me because before, I didn’t really know how to do anything like this on the computer. Now I am able to do many things and I am extremely thankful. I am happy to be able to talk to people from other places. Also I like to be able to express myself.
    Thanks! -Serena <3

  18. Hello Sue,

    This blogging competition has opened my eyes to the different aspects in blogging. There are many things you can do with blogging, that have been assigned to complete in our blogs for the blogging competition. I do not see the competition as a way for doing something and winning. The best part is about meeting new people from different places around the world. These people may have things in common with me. I saw a girl’s blog and it said she liked to dance and have fun. That’s what I am all about. Also, with blogging I can express myself within my writing. The blogging competition includes different activities that make you see what blogging is all about. I like the ClustrMaps that show me people from different places that have visited my site, the blogroll that can show other bloggers what I am interested in, and lastly, the choice of different themes that expresses my personality even more.

    Sincerely,

    Samantha

  20. Hi, Mrs Sue Waters,
    This Competition is teaching me a lot, I already know things that I couldn’t even imagine that could be done, but, above all, it is being a lot of fun to know many people that I didn’t knew before!
    What I love more in my blog is to comment and to receive comments. It is very interesting to write in the blog because I feel much more free in my writing. I love to surf in the blog and to comment

  21. Hey, Mrs. Waters!
    I think the blogging competition was a good idea. I’ve a couple things from it so far. For example: I learned how to link websites and better grammar. I also got to learn a little about other countries, which is pretty cool. Keep the great ideas coming! I’m looking forward to next week. Bye, Bye… =D

  23. Hey,

    I think that the blogging competition has really helped me open up and talk with people from all over the world. I think that its fun to read and write about things knowing that we’re not the only one who is going to read it or when we write the post that we are not just writing it as a boring school assingnment. I also think that it is just a fun way to get to know other people from around the world and see how other people live.

    All and all it has really meant alot.

  24. Hi Sue,
    I love blogging!!! It is a new way of expressing yourself! Just like Albert Einstein once said,” Anyone who has never made a mistake is someone who has never tried anything new.” That quote has stuck in the back of my mind and when I get dicouraged i think of the quote and somthing sparks and I get a whole new idea to write a post on. So far my favorite part of blogging has been able to talk to people from other countries. Also, i have told my family about my blog so they can see how i have improved on my writing. Hope i anwsered your question. Check out my blog!!!

  25. Hello Sue,
    Blogging is soooo cooool!!! I think it is also a great way to write down your thoughts, and you learn more knowledge about using the computer. I think it is also amazing how we have the technology to be able to connect with others students and teachers via the internet overseas! It is a great way to learn about how people act and what they do in different countries.
    Click on my new and improved blog!!! =))))))

  26. hello

    The best part of starting this Blogging Competition was that it rekindled the flame for my love of writing. Prior to this I was having a writers brain block, I just couldn’t get myself to write anything meaningful or from the heart. The weekly tasks for this competition got me to write things that I would never have thought of writing before. Not only are the topics interesting, but some of the responses you get to read from students the same age as you really made my thoughts twist around. The new perspectives from others, brought new ideas and from those new ideas brought more and more like a chain reaction. My favorite part of this whole competition was the post we wrote about poverty. Before that post I knew so little about the word “poverty”. Thanks to that post my teacher has given me the idea to raise money for families suffering in poverty. I also like how you can comment each others blogs already knowing some knowledge of what they’re talking about since you wrote about it as well. Like any other child, a smile is put on my face when it says “one new comment!”. Thank you.

I do indeed hops that Miss Wyatt continues the competition. This has probably been one of the best learning experiences that I have ever, well, experienced. Again, thank you.
    Sincerely,
