Narelle's+reflections

=Welcome to Narelle's Course Reflection Page=

Message from Vivian (You can remove this message at any time if you wish) Use this template page to add links, widgets and reflections on your learning in this course. I may come in from time to time to add comments/hints. You can decorate and build this page as you wish. Use the Wikispaces Tips page to find out hints & ask questions on how to edit your page.

I have included links to each week's session page so that you can find information quickly about the week in focus where there will be suggestions and ideas for you to try. I suggest you write each week's reflections under the Week title. This can contribute to your evidence for the unit "NSWTTCH102B Applying Skills to emerging Technology"

We ask that you only edit your own page and if you want to make a comment or ask a question of another page owner that you can add a comment in the Discussion tab at the top of the page.

=**Weekly Course reflections**=

**@Week 1 Intro** **to Adobe Connect and the Course**
What did you think of the first week? Enjoyed playing around with the basics especially Wiki's.

**@Week 2 Wikispaces & Social bookmarking **
Here is a link to my Diigo account.[] - have set it up but haven't added anything except joined our group. Love wikispaces and think they have lots of potential for me to use with my groups - ie Guiding Partners, RTC's, Training Committee etc.

**@Week 3** **File Collaboration**
Victoria Head office and Managers changed to Google Docs for all our files late last year - there has been some teething problems but generally we are starting to become familiar with it now.

Not sure about dropbox yet - love the idea - but how secure is it? A matter of learning to trust!

**@Week 4** **Images**
Here are some images & links from tools I have explored and tried out... media type="custom" key="18633794"

**@Week 5 Same time connections & Digital Story Telling Tools **
Okay - struggling now - juggling things is getting difficult! Have previously used Skype and have now set this up on my new computer - hope to use it again in the next couple of weeks. Haven't looked at any digital story telling - at this stage haven't got anything that I want to record however may have an opportunity to use this in the next couple of weeks. I can imagine how useful it may be particularly if setting up a webinar training for example however not doing that at this stage so I think it will be a case of I don't need this at the moment and keep it "filed" away for a future time.

**@Week 6 Surveys & Polls **
Why not include links to your polls and surveys here and reflect on how you could use polls/surveys in Guiding and personally.

**@Week 7 Personal Project **
You can use this section to note ideas for your own personal project before week 7... Had a great play this week at TREAT12. Created a green screen / blue screen video (not very good as didn't have a green background but you'll get the idea) - you might need to pause it and let it load otherwise it is a bit slow. Also a group of us created an animoto - part of Guide Law which includes using Tagxedo - here's the link. http://animoto.com/play/XsT663fzNYUfocJOQ1tExQ media type="file" key="Helen Geard bluescreen trial June 2012.m4v" width="300" height="300"

What achievements stand out as highlights for you?
