As the project is now complete, written up and sent off (yay!!) I can now reflect on what being a part of the Learning Circles project has done for me and the rest of the tutors. I can now easily create and work my way around a wiki and a blog although there are still [...]

Now that the presentation is over, I am feeling quite buoyed up about things. I think it went OK – being first up was both a blessing and a curse but at least the technology worked so that was great.
I was bowled over by all the other presentations. What a talented bunch of people there [...]

Well here it is Thursday night and I give this presentation tomorrow. I have been fiddling with the wiki, changing the look and feel etc and now I think I should just stop and go to bed!I am feeling quite satisfied with the way things have turned out even though I could have wished for [...]

Well the day of reckoning is almost upon me. On Friday I will be doing my presentation and I am excited about that. There have been a couple of late questionnaires handed in so will have to add the comments to my analysis. The comments so far have mostly been pretty positive. Those who have [...]

A small but enthusiastic team of tutors attended (make that 2, and a half Team Leader if you count Leanne who had to do “mother duties” halfway through!) Great to see Marg our new tutor on deck and keen to learn. I am now hoping that all tutors who attended will be able to [...]

The newsletter has gone into temporary abeyance until I can work it out or perhaps scrounge a bit of help from my long-suffering webpage guru friends. I feel better having taken a pro-active stance and sent out an email to everybody to invite them to the workshop rather than just spending more time agonising over [...]

Oyez – oyez, Coonara’s website is up and I can upload the newsletter at last. I have sent it off and am waiting with bated breath to see if it will work or not. The webquest I sent works like a charm but I did that one in Dreamweaver not Publisher so we shall have [...]

The Circles meeting helped me to crystalise some thoughts on my aims but I am still a little unsure about whether I want the project to explore tutor isolation or introducing them to new technology or both, or if they can be tied together to reach the same end. My head tells me to just [...]

To-day I am feeling a bit more hopeful. I think I might just put up the site and let tutors suggest what they want me to do with it – far more democratic that way. Only problem is – which site? I don’t know if the wiki will do it – I am leaning towards [...]
