TAFE JOURNAL
Tuesday the 11th of February 2020:
This week we learned with Deborah how to open our free WordPress site. I started to create it and the reason why I chose to do the driving was because I have my driving school and I want my business to grow. For the first in my life, I discovered how to open an Instagram page. I also discovered how to link to my WordPress.
Tuesday the 25th of February 2020:
The purpose of this site is to promote my driving school business. My audience will be many young people fromage 16-25 but it also will be open to people from ages 25-65. My goal is to see all drivers be good and safe drivers on our roads. This is the only reason I was driven into starting my own driving school business, I know for a fact and know from experience. In my 7 years driving as a driving instructor teaching many kids and adult to be good and safe drivers. The number one problem I have seen and experience is that the students have a lack of knowledge of the road rules and only lack of experience. The students are unaware of the dangers on our roads and because of their ack of experience they don’t know how to make the correct judgements in difficult/dangerous situations.
Tuesday the 10th of March 2020:
This week I was working on who I am? I had given a brief of who I am and also used my twitter account which I had for many years just sitting there to use and my new Instagram account. I discovered how important social media is the growth of any business as the days of door knocking and flyers that been long gone. I must keep up with the advancement of technology in order to stay in business.
Tuesday the 24th of March 2020:
This week we had to create an about page on our word press.
D” Difference driving school was established in January 2014. We are proud to be servicing the western Sydney/Hills/Shire and Eastern suburbs. Many students have come with the “d” difference driving school, have passed and have let friends/family know about us. We have current cars all fitted with dual controls and very competitive in the market. We are located in Western Sydney and our aim is to make you become great driver!
Tuesday the 28th of April 2020:
This week immediately after the TAFE holidays. I begun to search for the best of my car on my phone to see which ones I would add to the WordPress site. The photos I chose for my business and site were all photos I and my wife took on our trips around NSW and photos of my car.
Tuesday the 12th of May 2020:
I spent an hour with our head teacher Natalie navigating through the course and its criteria also learning how to use and operate adobe audition. I myself I am on the lower side of technology I can do a thing like write a story on Microsoft word and save it to my desktop or USB. In class we learned how to edit photos professionally and present them on our blog.
Tuesday the 26th of May 2020:
I had the privilege to conduct an interview with one of the breakfast hosts on hope1032 Duncan Robinson. We spoke about the Corona Virus Pandemic and how it has affected him as a person. He said “he has more time to spend with his family and neighbours and he can play Legos and his RC car. The interview went on for about 2 minutes it was a nice experience for me.
Tuesday the 9th of June 2020:
This week we were told how to add the contact me information on our WordPress site. So, people can be able to contact me via phone, email, twitter and Instagram. This was awesome and very encouraging for me to learn this and also for the business.
Tuesday the 23rd of June 2020:
This week it was all about going live on Word press for the general public to see and comment and also get in touch with me. How exciting was this from not knowing anything about a WordPress site to going live, it was amazing. The following weeks were TAFE holidays it was reflection time.
Tuesday the 21st of July 2020:
The following next 6 weeks we were learning about different story writing from writing humour to writing satire. This is an introduction to the new semester after the holidays about stories and the emphasis Deborah spoke about was spell checking and to use Grammarly.
Tuesday the 4th of August 2020:
This week I started to research and put my story together about the Corona virus pandemic. I also chose the correct the photo for this particular story. I also conducting another interview with a guy named Travis Keyser. I showed it to Deborah and the class but Deborah liked it but told me not to put it up on my WordPress.
Tuesday the 18th of August 2020:
This week I was working on post the video of the interview with Duncan Robinson from hope1032. I only released that I could not open the video unless it was put on YouTube. So, I decided to write it as a script because he already told me to put it on my WordPress site. At that time I did not know that it had to be linked via you tube, so I did not want to bother him anymore.
Tuesday the 1st of September 2020:
This week I want to do my story on the driving school how it started and what was the reason of the driving school starting in the beginning. I found a nice photo and edited to my story. Also, this week I had the privilege once again to found someone in the Macedonian community who has a radio program. I always wanted to be a radio announcer, so the next 6 weeks me and my wife went along and learned the functionality of broadcasting radio. I also did my first live on-air broadcasting program with this man through 2NBC.
Tuesday the 15th of September 2020:
This week was so interesting as I as have a passion for soccer. I only played soccer at school for fun and outside for fun as a goalkeeper. I had chosen the Macedonian national soccer team. The reason I chose them is even though they are weak side they made it for the first time in history in the Euro 2021.
Tuesday the 13th of October 2020:
This week I wrote my story about my first time in South Africa even though I have never been since then I was my only time there. It was an exciting story for me with lots of the meaning and fun. I spent 1 month there and met my wife’s family there. I chose a beautiful photo of us on my wife’s 24th birthday. I also did a lot of zoom sessions with Deborah to get me up to scratch.
Tuesday the 27th of October 2020:
This week the story I chose was the bushfires Australia. This was the main highlight of 2020 apart from Corona pandemic. The bushfires claimed many lives and nature also our Family friends house was burnt down in Wingello. The air in our area was horrible and we could not breath properly due to the smoke in air and had to wear masks.
Tuesday the 10th of November 2020:
This week I was finalising all my stories and portfolio. The photos for each story and also finished of my gallery with 6 original photos of nature and a brief story of nature. I believe the work that was done was very good and I learned a lot in this past year. I never had been good at Writing but Deborah complemented me for poetry and creativity and also said that “You are very talented and a nice person”.
Tuesday the 24th of November 2020:
This week all the assessment were due and were uploaded to my portfolio. Deborah gave me feedback about the interview she loved it and said” it was a great piece of work”. My wife has always been cheering me on and believing in me and she is the reason why today I am enrolled in this course. Deborah our teacher was always been believing in me and have been giving me feedback.
Tuesday the 8th of December 2020:
This is the last day of the course and at last hooray it is finished. I was not expecting the critics that Deborah gave me, they were the truth but not what I was expecting. I had not passed the units to get me certificate 4 and therefore I was disappointed in myself and had to additional classes with Deborah during the holidays and the weekends.
