Start of reflections

Well I should have got started on this a while ago, but late is better than never. Basically what I want to do is spend some more time reflecting in writing on my teaching experiences, this is part of my PD for the TAFE's flexible learning champions program as well. Also this is all a bit of spell checker free zone.

Started the Online Facilitation Course with Gippsland TAFE today. Now I know what it's like for students to open their email and find 30 email messages and feel like they need to read them all. One thing I've got already is a possilbe icebreaker game.

1) Posting an image to the group – maybe that image being only a flat area of colour
2)Then each member of group has to make one change to the image, before the next
person works on the same image.

So it’s basically a visual version of the Chef’s Hat. What concern me is that this might take to long.

One thing I'm discovering quite quickly is alot of people that are interesting in teaching flexibly are still quite critical of the whole area eg the debate on the first workshop day about what the group should actually be called.
