Now we are more than halfway through the F2F training, it is time to reflect on Module 2.

Reflect on how the focus of this module has helped you think about using standards/syllabus outcomes, CFQs or formative assessment in your curriculum planning.

Record your insights, key learnings, and questions or concerns in your reflection.

Hi everyone, welcome to Intel and the world of Blogging! We will use this blog to respond to the various modules and the issue that we are discussing during the course. Your responses will be made as comments on each blog post that I make, and you may choose to make additional posts in response to other participants comments.

So, we have 2 steps to undertake today – respond to this blog entry by clicking on Comments below and include in your reply at least one topic you are considering for the unit you will create during this course:

· Indicate your unit topic, year level, and subject area

Check back often to review responses from other participants, and maybe continue the conversation!

Let’s get Blogging!

New Essentials Online Course

suz01 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 05:43:04 +0000

It has been a while since I have presented an Intel course. I am now a Senior Trainer with Intel and I am working in a new school as Elearning Coordinator. Welcome to the new group of participant teachers in Intel’s Essentials Online course! We will use this blog to reflect on the course as we progress through the online modules.

Rather than have participants posting like I did with the last group, I will make posts for each module and have participant staff respond in the comments. The online version of the course is more structured in this respect, so that way we can ensure everyone responds to each module. My last group were completing the old 5 day essentials course, where blogging wasn’t officially a part of the course – it was an extra I thought was important.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts – Good Luck!!

Intel over but the journey continues

Our 5 day Intel course wound up today. It was fantastic to watch the final presentations and see the outstanding units of work the group created. It was inspiring throughout the course to see everyone being challenged to try new things, collaborating and sharing together and taking the plunge into what was unfamiliar territory for many. There was a lot of cross pollination and learning going on in all directions – I know I learnt a lot too!

Thanks for being such great participant teachers everyone, and I hope you will continue to use this blog to network and share.

Last day

I am now on the last day and I am spending a moment to write a post – it is all still confusing but I feel the more that I spend a moment to do this then it will become familar. I cannot wait till I am confident to set up something for my students. This has been a great course – I am going home with soooooo much to follow up on – fantastic.

Better late than never…

Wow! I didn’t realise that I would have to do so much work! Doing the Intel course has been a great learning experience for me. In particular, to go through the very thorough process of writing essential and unit questions then relating all curriculum planning to this, can indeed be a very lengthy but worthwile task.

I have benefited from the experience of going through this process to create well-planned and meaningful curriculum. As an ICT Learning Coach without any classes of my own it has been good practice getting back into writing curriculum and practicing what I preach in terms of integrating ICT. I have enjoyed the opportunity to play with ICT tools for a real purpose and look forward to students using what I have created. I hope they like it!!

Learning Together

Welcome to ’Exploring Together’ this blog will be our journey into eLearning in education and look forward to contributing to the ongoing discussion we may have.

eLearning is an ever changing environment which can open some amazing and exciting doors. Sharing with others is so empowering especially when it is your students!

Happy Blogging and thanks Suz for inviting me.

Getting started…

This blog is hopefully going to become a dynamic site for collaboration and exploration, as a group of Victorian teachers undertake a 40 hour Professional Development program, and share their experiences, resources, questions etc through this blog. The course starts next week, so hopefully we will see some adventurous souls joining us in edublogger land shortly. I invite any and all readers to participate actively through the comments, to help demonstrate the power of blogging and an online community to our new users.
