What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  
Having a go at creating my class site and to make it engaging for my students.  Making buttons I was happy with for the curric. areas was very time consuming, but I was happy I eventually got it.  Having a go with making my groups in the main curric. areas is still a work in progress.

Learning how to copy paste text which should help me to keep the correct formatting (without the text going off the page).
