The good news is that the assignment is not too scary...It looks actually quite interesting and I already have a few ideas about the resources I will be creating for the lesson plan. It is ironic that during the session technology was challenging Wendy's Lesson plan but to her credit she remained calm and encouraged us to carry on . We still met the objectives! (I think). Thanks to the situation I actually discovered the free software for Mind Map called mindmeister.com and will definitely use it and hopefully can improve my own mind map skills.
I also learned a few things such as adding pop ups on a PowerPoint Presentation and different ways to make text easier to read.
Oh! almost forgot...I also learnt about Cloud...never heard of it before. I must keep up with the technology lingo!

Not ironic Marie, but inevitable.The more you use technology the more likely it is you will find it challenges you. The important thing is to have a contingency plan. Mind meister and/or paper-based mind mapping was my contingency and I'm glad you liked it, I know I do. We will be using it again later in the course for collaborative work.
ReplyDeleteYou mention ideas you already have. What are they? It would be great to capture these in your blog so that we have a record of your ideas as the course develops.
Marie,
