How is it?
The journey has begun.... The class (group photo needed here) has organised themselves into three teams. 3 x 5 = 15. Vickel is in a team!
I have gone over the course aim... Greg read out load and I set the sceen for them and recorded this on the Smartboard. Greg also read out the two learning outcomes.
I then asked them what was their understanding of SCL and we recorded this and disscussed.
They then got into their three groups for an 1/2 hour get together and then reported back.
The report back went really well, with the three speakers descibing what each group thought was high on their prioty list. I'm sure that they will all blog on this first meeting.
The three also spoke with confidence, was this because the group has already appointed the best speaker?
One group and I went to see Peter and got some prices for materials. A good early move by that group.
Yellow Cedar $2818/ m 3
Gaboon ply BS 1088 12 mm $115 + 6 mm $60 +
Epoxy $ 340/24L + mixed
Still have to look at the assessment events and the purpose of these.
Hi All
I don't mind being in a group. Thinking about it I think I'll enjoy the experience. Just concerned about fairness. I think I'll be better used as a 'support' person for all groups. So if they have an idea and they want to use technology in some way I'll be able to help them. In the 1 hour I spend in class, the students can see to discuss ideas etc. What do you think? What do the students think?
