Beginning Term 4 - then end is nigh...

Hi All,

Well, I had a very hectic "term break" - spending 3/4 of it doing a 3500 word essay on learning styles!  Boy, I was glad to get that assessment sent off.

I was pleased to receive some work from this class - thank you to those that sent it in.  Even more pleasing - the quality of the work.  I am really impressed with the blog entries I read, the websites I viewed, the assessments I received.  Presentation was of a really high standard, the assessment topics were covered to satisfaction (and above) and I found it hard to give much feedback on how to improve, as they simply did not require improving.

But, on that note - feedback.

One thing we will be following up on when we get back to class, is feedback.  How to give and receive feedback is a skill that many people could do with improving on.  In the next class, I hope all will have their websites completed to a point where we can all view them.  We will then seek, receive and respond to feedback from other classmembers.  ON the flipside, we will feedback - hopefully in a way that is helpful, positive and productive.

Also, we will be doing a little revision test on the basics of communicating electronically.  I will email the questions out to everyone today, so you have time to revise and be 100% ready on Thursday.

Our last day covering Communicate Electronically and Organise Personal Work Priorities and Development.  After this, we move onto Electronic Presentations (Powerpoint).

See you on Thursday,

Donna
