Week 1 - Welcome to class!

Hi everyone.  My name is Donna and I am you lecturer this semester for your Cert III Thursday morning class.  Welcome.  We will be covering 2 subjects this term - Communicate Electronically & Organise PersonalWorkplace Priorities & Development. 
For Communicate Electronically - you will need to demonstrate
sending and receiving of email for a range of purposes
attaching and removing documents to email
using software applications to collaborate online
knowledge of relevant legislation

We willl look at how to send effective and appropriate emails, how to manage your electronic mail, and look at ways of collaborating online -including cloud computing and social networking.

In the first class, you will create a Google email account specifically for this class. 

This week:  you will receive your unit outlines and timetable via email.  Take the time to have a look through these outlines - direct any questions to your lecturer - either in class next week, or via email.

Email your lecturer with an attachment of a  short introduction to you and your history / experiences with communicating electroincally.  Add a photo (upload from phone).

Type up a reflection of your experiences in class so far this week.  Email to your lecturer.

Check out this BLOG post about reflecting.  It has tips on how and why!
