Wayne

Greetings all,

My name is Wayne, and I am from [|Irymple Primary School], near Mildura. I am a second year out graduate teaching a Grade 5/6 class of 23 students and I also teach ICT to about 100 5/6 students across our 4 classrooms. I also manage the Netbook program for our Grade 6 students (43). I am looking forward to learning lots about teaching thinking with technology and meeting you all...

See you then!

Day 1 reflection... 2/6/2009 After today, the first day, I feel like I have learned a lot, and revised a lot on developing a unit of work. What has been the most interesting idea? I think the seeing reason tool has heaps of potential and it has really got me thinking about how I will use it in my project. What has been the most challenging thing you have thought about? At the moment I am doing some serious thinking about the CFQs that I will use for my digital portfolio project. Hope you enjoyed that drink Wayne. Tomorrow will be your chance to consider Curriculum framing questions. Anne []

How do you feel? I feel like I need a drink! Anything else? I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Day 2 - 3/6/2009 My Unit Plan on Digital Portfolios - Very rough draft stage! Today I am feeling like I am getting somewhere, very slowly bringing all my ideas together thanks to the ideas and support of lots of different people but it is just so huge! Tonight I will focus a lot of energy into clarifying several parts, my key focus questions and the learning outcomes. Then I will be able to bring together my learning activities and their links and use of the intel tools. Another day... phew! Wayne

Day 3 - 4/6/2009 My Unit Plan on Digital Portfolios - Next draft Hello again... Well here it is after lots more changes ...and I think it is actually starting to come together! Lots of refinment and lots more to do yet. Although I know that it wont be finished by the end of tomorrow I am quite confident now that I will be able to get it finished given more time to work on it. Tonight I will really make a big effort to work towards getting the learning sequence and a few other areas sorted out. See you all tomorrow! Wayne

Day 4 - 5/6/2009 My Unit Plan on Digital Portfolios - Day 4 Draft The end is here! I am pleased to get to the end of the course today having achieved what I have. Having learned what I have my unit is well on the way with a fair bit of work to be done yet still. The sequence of learning is not complete but certainly starting to take shape with a good general idea of how it will happen. Over the next week or so I will put a lot of effort into getting it completed and will upload it here for Anne to check over again. Thanks for a great course Anne. Wayne
