Penny @ symposium

Me raving on about Flickr and Spashblog at the symposium.

T&L Symposium day

Well we did it! The symposium workshop went very well today and participants seemed to be interested in the possibilities of learning technologies for themselves and their students. There were some lights going on around the room, and the difference between blogs and wikis was immediately clear to them once they had used the wiki space. I really hope we get people interested in forming e-technology pods next year.

I propose we have a session next Tuesday to debrief on the session and the whole process, and make a plan for marketing the pods! How about Kreem for coffee at 8am?

Well done team!

Better file size this time

I used a thumbnail version last time - hence the blurriness. Will try to select a bigger file this time.

Trying to add an image again

Let's see if I can manage it this time!

Student photo management session today

Today Thom is going to take the students through Flickr or Splashblog to enable them to put photos of their projects up for viewing. It should be good being a little ahead of them on this one!

I hope I can post this tree picture for you all to view.

It works! Read feeds and post to your blog while mobile.

Technology does not beat me anymore!!

After six failed efforts I finally managed to load a new photo on my blog profile today. The trick in the end was to delete the existing one first, then save, then paste in the new URL from Flickr and then save again!

This technology game really does require persistance, but I am getting more feisty and not accepting 'No' for an answer!!

Blogger action

Great to see some blogger action happening from the Ellerslie Flower Show student teams - blackpavlova and backyardbliss!!

Aug 9th Students on board

Today I am here in our lab with Thom and our Ellerslie Flower Show exhibitors, signing up to new blogs. These will be used for journalling their EFS experience and learning for their Negotiated Study.

As a result of the VET BOS excercise challenging us to move outside the square of course content and create a course focussed on a specific learning task, and clipping necessary content onto acheiving the task.

It is exciting to see the students' enthuiasm for the concept. And even more exciting to see the learning I have done in D2D playing out in my programme.
