Shelley's journey to becoming a teacher...

I recieved my peer review today.  Im quite please with what has been said and have taken into account the changes that have been recommended - well in the most part.  It was recommended that I increase the font size, I have done this to my pages however I am having alot of difficulty in doing it to the blogs.  Some of them I have been able to increase, while some of them I havent.  Im not sure why it isnt letting me increase all of the blogs, but I have done so on the ones I could.  I am tryi...

I have been talking to my peers both on the LMS and in person about the peer review and some people are saying that honesty is the best policy, I still find it quite hard.  Other people that I have spoken to are saying that they are having problems reviewing too.  For me I think the problem is that it is a peer and not a student.  Although I understand that we have to learn how to assess others work, I am struggling with this.  I spoke with one lady today and she was saying that her website w...

I love this assignment!Who would have thought that a University assignment would be fun to do?  I have just organised my daughters birthday, my husbands suprise catchup with his mates and a birthday card to my sister-in-law.  And all from the one site, a site that I would  not have found if it wasnt for this assignment. 
We have just had a study week and Im eager to get back to a normal uni week were I can go to class and bounce ideas around with my peers.  Its just not the same talking to my ...

Ive been having computer problems for the last couple of days so I havent been able to do much on here.  Just wanted to touch base and hopefully the computer will behave long enough for me to finish this post...

Ok, going to post now, dont want to puch my luck with the computer :)

Just got an email back from Jenni, thankfully I didnt miss too much on Thursday when I coulnt make it to Uni.  Im not feeling completly overwhelmed now.  I think also knowing that I have done the instructions for the social network is keeping me calm too.  I just have to hope Ive done it correctly and my peer review will come back positive.

I did my instructions on how to use Punchbowl today.  I really like using this site, however I had so much trouble working out how to post a screen caption onto my webpage.  I had viewed Jenni Parkers video on YouTube, but still could not get it to work.  Luckily after a bit of playing around I was able to figure it out, but I must say I was really frusturated while I was trying to do it. Once I had calmed down and got into the 'swing' of sreen captions and I had alot of success with my socia...

Unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control, I couldnt get to Uni this week for my lecture or tutorial.  I feel completly lost! I have read thru my lecture notes and thats all good, I would have liked to hear the discussions on '9 elements of Authentic Learning' I think it would have been really interesting.  I really like the Multiple Perspectives and Authentic Assessments elements. 
I like the Multiple perspectives element as sometimes someone can 'get through' to another person jus...

This week I have been doing it a bit of personal researching to see if and what technologies I can find that other countries are using and developing.  I have come accross two really interesting websites, that I think people interested in this topic would like to read.  The websites I found were: Office of Educational Technology (America) MIT-CETI(China) although I would have loved to find more websites the search engine kept showing me technology courses and degrees at University/TAFE (or th...
