Jokaydia Road Trip0

Hi all sorry I have been a bit quiet of late. Anyway yesterday I went on the Jokaydia Road trip in Second Life . Jokaydia is the learning community I am studying for the first assignment. On the road trip I visited a number of different education islands that may be of interest to the rest of the group. After the first assignment is completed (as we all do not have much time at the moment) I am offering to take interested class members around some of the education Sims in Second Life. If you are interested please let me know and I will forward the SLur (Second Life URL) to you. Alternatively you can go onto to the Jokaydia web site and go and explore independently

Url is in my delicious page or here it is below

See you inworld

How fab are PLN’s0

I have been very lucky over the last two years my PLN has been expanding and the contacts and the resources that I have gained from my network are ever evolving. Today I was taking to a colleague in the lunch room as one does about what we were doing at uni and he sent me a real life website of a similar project we presented to you on Sat. Just wanted to share and it is nice to see theory in practice. :)

Group work0

After writing the reflection on the group work assignment tonight have decided to do some more research into how to faciliate a group more effective or find ways to encourage more learning espisods in the next group work assignment. Even though I am a trainer I think it takes a great deal of skill to encourage “social learning” in a group. Hopefully by the end of the Masters I would have acquired these skills.

A new beginning0

At the beginning of this course this year I felt frustrated that I had to do the this subject again because of misadventure. However for me I got so much more out of doing this subject again.  The see how the Web 2.0 technologies had evolved over the past year was amazing and how much  my excitement about learning about them had increase. I believe that this subject  has reignited my passion for learning that I thought I had lost. It has challenged me and has made me consider further postgraduate study ie a  PHD in education further exploring how Virtual Worlds can be used in education. I am excited to what possibilities may come my way am ready to embrace the challenges ahead with open arms :)
