=Welcome to Kim Richardson Course Reflection Page= Did this work? My reflection is I am confused as to whether this is working!

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?
 * OK... I'm very late doing this task. In week 1 I was very excited to be learing something new and challenging for an "old chook"! **

**@Week 2 Wikispaces & Social bookmarking **

 * I have to say that I did not look at Wikispace site early enough in the week and became "techno panicked" that night! I was not well prepared for the class. Consequently, I was trying to remember too much and flick around the website and then my computer just said "too much" and had a go slow so I couldn't watch the video presentation. I did make my reflections page but I picked up the videolater and it was very simple to make the reflections page (as it happens) and I had done it correctly any way! YAY me! **


 * Now I know why the kid never do the reading... they just hit buttons!!!! I remember the days of program card and if you hit the wrong button... EVERYTHING WAS LOST!!!!!! **
 * Here is a link to my Diigo account... **
 * I have opened my Diigo account today... just waiting on an email so that I can activate it... should have done it earlier!!!!! **

**@Week 3** **File Collaboration**
(Google Docs, Drop Box) //** I am actually looking forward to this week but once again... under prepared... too much happening in my life at present. **//

**@Week 4** **Images**
Here are some images & links from tools I have explored and tried out...
 * // I'm sorry to have missed this week. I had a death in the family and just couldn't manage getting on-line. I listened to the session before the Week 5 seesion so that at least I knew what you were all talking about! There are some great things out there... now I just need thte tiem to actually "play" with them. I learn by "doing" but I never seem to have enough time to "play"!!! //**
 * // I did have a go at the snipping tool and Print Screen. It is amazing that I have had access to that and never knew it existed! I can see a these will save me a lot of time and heartache when getting training docs together! //**

**@Week 5 Same time connections & Digital Story Telling Tools **
You might like to save here some links to digital stories/video tools that you liked as well as reflection the potential for the tools we explored **I really enjoyed this week - I felt I missed a lot but going back over things really helps you feel included. I am going to play with the Voki and see if I can work it out and put it on my page someting this week!!!**

**Here is a link to my Voki!!!** []

 * Sent some grabs from week 4 session to Drop box... hope it works. **
 * I have not been able to get to record on Screenr. It just takes way too long to load the screen. I am wondering if that is normal or if my computer just isn't up to loading anything else!!! It is grinding away and sounding very tired!!!! **

**@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. **// //**Well... I haven't managed to delve into this area yet but I see that Dianne has for a training we did together a couple of weekends ago! Well done Di. **// //**I'm trying to work on my assignment but alas... time... and TREAT 12 is on this weeknd... grhhhh... **//

//**7/6/12: I have finally managed to complete the first two Assessment Tasks (I hope!) and handed them into Viv - YAY!!! **//

//**My computer is slowing down... very worrying and so is my internet connection! I think both have been overworked in the last few weeks!!! I'm learning lots but still finding it difficult to "navigate" around some sites. I'll get there eventually! **//

**@Week 7 Personal Project **
You can use this section to note ideas for your own personal project before week 7...

**//Here is the link to my Voicethread//** []**//. I used an old PPT I did for a JL training a few years ago.//** media type="custom" key="19120864" align="left"
 * //What a great session!!! Thanks Jo for asking about Voicethreads! I played after teh class while doing my washing to pack for the TREAT 12 weekend (and I ahve to leave home at 4.30 am!). //**
 * //I even managed to embed a widget for it!!!!! WOW!!! Have we learnd a lot!!!! Thanks Viv!!!! //**
 * //I started a Wiki for my Region tonight so I think I might add this if I can! Ifeel sooooo clever!!! //**
