Exciting news.. Ann at the college of advanced education (CAE) is bringing some of her Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) teachers along to learn about web2 via the 23 Things course. (The Victorian ACE version of it.)
Here we are at the CAE in the heart of Melbourne’s central business district (CBD), with Ann, David, Fiona, Gillian, Eileen and Parama. Most people are choosing blogger to set up their reflective journals, except David who’s investigating edublogs for the first time.
The idea of a public reflective journal is central to the 23 Things approach: you experience the web2-based social network, by sharing your discoveries with your peers.
(Edublogs is a Melbourne company that’s become popular with teachers around the world. They use wordpress as the application to run their system.)
- Ann’s at anntimess.blogspot.com
- David’s at mrihooper.edublogs.org
- You’ll find Parama at lunchadventure.edublogs.org (maybe?)
- Eileen is at learnbeforelunch.blogspot.com
There’s a mix of enthusiasm and nervousness. Will we have time for this lunch-time learning adventure? Will it be manageable, and what will we discover?
Some questions came up already:
- Can you upload documents in your blog?
- Short answer – you need to use a second service.
(ok, searching for more detailed answers.. back shortly..)
