Conclusion

What can I say about my time at Dial.

I have enjoyed being given the chance to take part in a course that has allowed me to meet new people, access to online courses and take part in activities that I had never done before.

I have been playing my guitar with Iain and learning new songs. I have taken part in a mapping project that will show people in a wheelchair where the drop down steps are.

On the whole this has been a very helpful course that I have taken part in, I would recommend it to anyone that needs help with job searching, meeting new people and learning new practical skills.

Week 10

In this final week we planned the final day, Iain and myself have been working together on practicng a few songs to play for the group.

I feel we have achieved a lot and I am looking forward to showing everyone my own song, I have written, composed, play and sing myself.

Thanks to Iain I have found myself relaxing more, by playing my guitar and writing more songs.

Week 9

We spoke about what we had accomplished so far on the course, also we spoke about how the final presentation and how long it would run for and where it would take place.

I have completed my web design course and I felt it was quite useful, I can now use it in my every day life.

Week 8

Here we met in Bewdley to take pictures of the drop curbs, the people in evolved were myself Iain, Winston, Nick, Joe and Peter.

It was a very productive day we took a lot of pictures, myself and Iain took the photos, when we got back i sent the photos to Iain so he could map the locations.

Week 7

Here we spoke about the mapping project in Bewdley, we decided who would be involved in the project and when it would take place.

Week 6

We met to discuss a mapping project for drop curbs for people who use a wheelchair, we decided it should be in Bewdley as one of the members on the course lived there.

We spoke about getting t-shirts designed so that we could go to Kidderminster and Redditch shopping centers and speak to members of public about Dial.

Week 5

This is where we went into more detail about what the final would be about.

We discussed presenting our scrapbooks and blogs, I also shall be playing a few songs through lunch with Iain.

There was also one to one catch ups for those who required it.

My web design course was going well and almost complete.

Week 4

In this week we had a recap of what we wanted to achieve and what the final presentation would include.

At this point I was still pursuing the game coding course as it was on this week o found the flaw in the software provided.

After speaking with Mark Croft he had mentioned to me sometimes the online tutors can do this sometimes to test the pupil, although the course clearly was labeled as coding for beginners. 😯

Week 3

This week we had spoken about creating a blog or scrapbook, to show what we have chosen to do for our 10 week course.

People that needed to speak with Iain did so to explore why that wanted from the course.

I ha chosen to do a game coding course but I had trouble with the software that had been provided.

I then decided web design was a avenue I would like to explore.

Week 2

In this week we met as a group to discuss what Dial was about and what services they provide.

We also spoke about what things that would be done on the side of our own choice of course.

Week 1

In week 1 we met with Jim and the group to discuss what the course was about.
