BL (8) - Using Google Docs/forms. I found this session extremely interesting and beneficial. I was able to make an evaluation form which I use with every group of students I have and is also used by other staff members in my Team. I would have to collate all the information from all the groups for annual statistics. Having a tool as useful as the Google form which will collate all the answers for me is now going to save me a lot of time and also a lot of paper, as I like to do my bit for the environment! I will be using the form with my current group of students and see how well it works... fingers crossed!
BL (7) - Group work on Constructive (individual/social) theory. Elizabeth, Shirley and me put together a powerpoint presentation with video clips made using the webcam and also from Youtube to help explain the meaning of Constructive Theory. I learnt how to change the format of a videoclip using www.mediaconverter.org and also how to upload it to a powerpoint slide. I would normally switch between powerpoint and video clips when doing presentations but now I know how to incorporate the videoclip which will make doing presentations a smoother operation. I also have a better understanding of the Constructive learning theory.
