EDF 6447 - the first week! OMG – what have I done!
The first few weeks . . . Flexible learning, Shimabukaru, Vygotsky and Gagne are just a few of the mountains of reading we had to conquer
The road got a little bit curvy when we had to form a group and take part in an online challenge – without meeting, face to face contact or telephone calls!
Our first assignment – peer reviewed articles and journal – a few ups and downs
Web 2.0, Communication and Collaboration, Content Design – really starting to enjoy it all now – finding new ways to teach
Working on Assignment 2 – are we there yet?
We are Virtually there – not long now to go!  Alternative ways to teach through a Virtual World – the possibilities are fascinating
What a journey it has been!  There is technology I take for granted and some I have never thought of how or why we use them and I love how my mind has opened up to so many new ways of engaging students and being creative.
