Task 1b using a social resource to create a social occasion has been a wonderful journey for me, slowly progressing from someone who was afraid to click on a child's game in fear of subjecting my computer to a virus to now being a semi-confident explorer of sites.I chose punchbowl.com as my resource, it is a site that helps to organise and plan events, I had no idea resources like this were available. This site covers everything from designing invitations, decorations, entertainment and caterers. Supplying you with prompts and ideas to create your own event. I found punchbowl very easy to use and it had lots of great ideas. While I enjoyed planning my event I was aware of the learning that was happening. Along with my technical skills that are developing this task opened lots of doors for interactive growth. I have found myself continuously engaged with other students either online, in person or on the phone discussing ideas, sharing advice and welcoming criticism and all before peer review. I was quite apprehensive waiting for my review to come back but was thrilled with the advice I received. Ideas like changing font colour for easier reading and  more visual images that I hadn't considered were all put into action. I can really see the benefits of authentic learning it helps you to develop your skills alongside your cognitive learning..
