Wiki Page

Well I finally did it and I had it right all the time, I was just putting my thoughts in the wrong category, so I am now off and running.  I have added an external link to the Wiki and also an internal link to Dave Mcquilliam page  on the Wiki (thanks Leigh).

My next project now is working on my outcomes of my course.

Other Cool Web Sites

I have just been looking on blackboard, and found some more cool web sites to go to.  Check these out:

For the people who do not have access to blackboard you will only be able to check out the first link. sorry.

DFLP Teaching Resources

Here are a few of the teaching resources I have put on you tube as a teaching resource.

 

cheers, for all you guys have taught me, and taking me to a new level of teaching /facilitating and helping me over come the new age of technology.  Bring It On!! I love it.

Now there is an idea for a few new course?

Here are some Teaching Resources I have learnt while I have been completing my DFLP course.

Below is a link that leigh has shown us on how to add a youtube into my word press.

Click on this link and it should take you to leigh’s digital resource.

Here is another useful tip on Youtube called slideshare.

Click on the link below and learn how to use powerpoint slides by posting these on youtube.

This is a great teaching tool for students who cannot get to class or have been to class and have forgotten all the content of the course.

I would definetly look at this for presenting distant learning.

Dave M Post

I have been reading Dave M thoughts about how not all students have the ability to use a computer or how to get around a certain programme on a computer, i.e. blackboard, so that I feel is where we come into the play at our Community Learning Centres, where we can facilitate and show these students how to access their learning programmes.

If for an example there are students who live at the back of Outram, and they are enrolled in a programme in massage therapy on line, they could come into our suite and we could teach them how to log on and help them if they are unsure of a question.  I realise that we would need to be trained up on the content of the programme, and a lot more investigating needs to go into it, but I do feel that we should be taking the programmes to the students, who are remote, and do not have access to coming into the Polytechnic for classes.

Videos to stir us up

I watched these videos and they were ok. I thought they made the point about how fast technology is changing and how much easier we can make our lives and work with tchnology.  I quite enjoyed it.

Interesting reading on developing courses. I have found this quite benificial.

Interview with student

Here is my interview with sharon who is a student of mine.

Interview of Student

I have brought myself a quick cam and have loaded the software and hooked the cam up to my computer and am at present trying it out.  I have managed to put my photo onto skype and I also rang another supervisor at one of our other venues and talked him through downloading skype and we now talk and he can now see me while I am talking to him.  He thinks I am so clever with this technology, If he only knew how hit and miss it has been for me learning this and just giving it a go and trying new things.  Its been great to actually show others how skype works and enjoy there enthusiasim when they see you on the other end of who they are talking to. I have now just talked to one of my students and asked if she would be my “guinea pig” and did she mind me putting her on utube she was very obliging so I sat her down at my desk, set the cam corder up and then I hooked both the micro phones up to the computer, and asked her the questions that Bronwyn had advised us on and away we went. 

You can tell by the video that it is very amateurish and raw but it is the first time i had done it and felt very uneasy but also proud of myself as once again i was taken out of my comfort zone and I once again have tried something new.

I have come a long way from when I first started and I now know that it wasnt as hard as I had thought.

I am down loading  it to u Tube and am waiting, and waiting and waiting, (it takes so long)  and then i will put it on my blog.

RSS Plain English

hi leigh
I had a look at the video clip on RSS Plain English but could not understand it as it was very static and up and down, is any one else having the same problem with the video clip?
