Well everyone, this may be my last post for a while, I will try to update as soon as I can though, I promise.
Our space has taken flight with a lot of progress and hard work.The remainder of this week has also been full on, trying to get everything up to date and completed before I need to rush off this Saturday as I will be taking flight as well, leaving for Canada. I do feel a little guilty leaving my group early, I hope they understand.
As I have uploaded everything for the lesson plans, I have been meeting with my group regularly to discuss who needs help and what information still needs to be added to our wiki. Seeing as the Student Task still needed to be started, I took on the role of completing it which makes sense as it links in with the lesson plans anyway, I just had to re write it so students could understand what they need to be doing throughout the duration. I have included a screen shot below.
I decided to have a look on the sample site within the LMS just to get some ideas on how the student task was written and presented. These sample sites have helped a lot and it's great to know there's a lot of information on the LMS to support researching for assignments. The student task took me a while to write and find the correct wording for a clear understanding but I got there in the end, found some relevant pictures and uploaded my information to the wiki. I feel relieved that I have contributed two pages of vital information for our space as I know my group is very appreciative and it's another step closer to finishing the final product.
This task has been so beneficial and challenging to say the least, I am so excited about the new discoveries through technology that have been made such as Scootle and The Australian Curriculum. I will be using these sites for my future career in teaching for sure and it is great to now know where to find and how to use this information. I have also learnt a bit more about how to use the Interactive whiteboard and Ipads through researching for this assignment and cant wait to be able to utilise these kinds of technologies within my own classroom one day.
This unit which I had dreaded right from the start has proven to be a blessing in disguise, so rewarding and rich in technology and information that I could never of imagined. My confidence has grown everyday in using technology and I am looking forward to many more discoveries along the way as I am sure that this is just the beginning.
