Action Learning Set Preference

I would like to be part of the group working with Adobe Capitvate.

It just occurred to me that perhaps a wiki might be a better place to create the list of preferences (as in the camping list). If my limited understanding of wikis is correct we could then add a page for each learning set where they could assign their tasks, communicate, upload documents etc.

My first blog experience

Firstly I'd like to say thank you to everyone who made a presentation yesterday. It was great to see snippets of the various techniques.

I am pleased that we will also get the opportunity of using some of them. I am really looking forward to seeing how these techniques can be used in various teaching/learning situations and units.

Now to this blog experience. As you can see I made it in. I signed in as Gisela. I added myself as an author which sent an invitation to my email inbox. I opened the email, clicked on the link, completed the form to create a google account (using my TAFE email address), then signed in as a user. As Gisela said it was easy. Although, I had to type the post twice because I went back to another screen and lost my original post. I guess I should have saved it!

What I particularly liked in doing this was experiencing the process from both sides of the coin - as a teacher (when using Gisela's sign in) and as a student (when creating my account).

Thanks again Gisela.
