End of June Reflections

So my students have a Wikispace now as their dedicated LMS. Its going really well. For some of them it's their first adventure into the world of online learning and accessing these tools. So it has been a bumpy ride for them.
The rest are really enjoying it. I created an App to support their learning. They are able to access their main content in one place.  Its basic and simple.

It has 4 components

1. weblinks - they open this and it takes them to 2 sites. Their wikispace or their online learning. You could make it open to the my.tafe link or blackboard.

2. Documents - I only have 1 PDF theory book, it opens in their e reader or adobe PDF.

3. Youtube links - I predefined the search and it open a whole bunch of communication skills videos which they can choose to watch or not.

4. Community discussion forum. post simple messages to other users of the app.

 

When I published it I chose a password protected option. So its on the market, anyone can downloaded but to install you need a password. That protects the copyright of the documents that are uploaded (i think).

 

It was relatively easy to produce - just needed to think creatively about what you wanted it to do for you.

What I found most difficult was coming up with a creative name for it - so the title ended up being GoGoGo Study on the Go.

 

I need some skills in creative names I think!!!

 

 

I created an app!

Its simple but will test it with the students. So far it has worked well on android and Iphone. It is also password protected so it protects the content.

I really like this and wanted to share the message

Reflection on assessment

You need a picture of competence to be competant.
You need a picture of assessment success, to be successful at an assessment.I thought this was really interesting.
Really loved all the presentations today, I personally felt like I learnt so much from each single one.
