Mike M Prof Blog

Each day with the course I become more confident in talking and presenting amongst my group. It’s good to put myself in the student’s shoes and is a good reminder when I am designing pieces of work to remember to slow things down to accommodate for students that could be lacking in confidence or even just need more time to process things. Like myself! Teaching my students to blog and record their processes is a good way of recording evidence and communicating with stakeholders etc. Using feedback to inform their decisions.

Day one of the DFI was a great experience. Even though I felt a litle left behind I managed to complete most of the tasks and be on time to all the group meetings. I enjoyed learning to use Google docs to a greater level than just writing a letter/ message. The use of the explore and how to use titles will be of use and look forward in teaching my students these skills.  The use of the referencing tool will be useful for my senior students who are heading off to university at the end of the year. This is my first blog ever and looking forward to the next 8 weeks of this coarse learning some new skills to pass onto my students.
