Challenges ahead.

Oh, how I wish I had the time and money to have gone to the icelf conference. Good that Chris and Muks presented.
Steve Wheeler is absolutely onto it.
The below link to one of his blogs (he is prolific) is a real short sharp punch to the solar plexus.
A convenient untruth
Is this the area of research I wish to expand upon? Do I take stock next year with an educational portfolio to gain the GDipHE qualification and then look at the Masters.
It will give me a year to really look at where I can be effective within the VET learning and Teaching environment.
I need to reflect on What "I" believe. I need to consolidate these beliefs. Then I need to plan action research that will be fulfilling to me personally and hopefully help educationally in general.

Learning style tests etc...

Seeing my experiences through new eyes.

It is a singularly profound and insightful experience for me to now, to be able to view an outline /overview of my learning within the context of the group events studied for deeper outcomes.

I like the framework and modeling evident in developing the course.
Very different and far more complex from the setup I employ in the level for teaching environment.
Wow. well done.

I now have been able to reflect and accept that research can be very powerful. The relevancy took me a while.
This paper is like closing the loop for me.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to develop myself through the course.
Seeing the facilitators depth of understanding supported by sound educational theory, is cool.
Thanks.

let's hope so.

Trying "screenr" vodcasting cloud software for first time. Graduate Profile.

Wow this has a huge potential.

it is so easy to use and can be used forwards (in delivery of content) and backwards (student feedback presentations etc...)

I'm sure students' will find this screen capture a blessing.

To date I've had to use a clunky programme that was downloaded into my harddrive and didn't link quicly to a cloud environment.

This is the BOMB!
Thanks Chris for sending me a sample of your discovery.




I've just happened to use the "Graduate Profile" as it is recognised at present.

Below is some clowning around with me mates birthday photos.
