Moodle

Going to have a fresh look at Moodle this afternoon.  Was speaking to the training manager from an RTO I work for who are creating courses online at the moment, so they wanted to have a chat to me about it.  We were talkting about personal development and I was telling thwm that I ws considering pulling out of the uni course due to IT concerns.  It's nice to know other people are finding challenges and successes through Moodle.  So this afternoon and Monday I will go back to the main page of Moodle and look again to start creating some components to the units I've chosen from the hospitality course.  Maybe it is not as hard as I think, I think I have been looking in the wrond place and confusing myself.  Anna also reminded me that this is the way of the future and if I want certain things I'm best to just stick with it.  I know I'll feel better for it, smarter for it, so best not to give up.  I'll blog more once I discover more on this Moodle program..........wish me luck

CHAT

Participated in online chat tonight, good to experience the first one.  Still have so much to learn, all takes time and focus.

Moodle

I spoke to Anna today about developing my Moodle site.  A phoen discussion was very helpful to clarify some concerns.  I listened to the 15th Aug podcast, bit hard to hear but I found it useful, I will now listen to the updated one from today.  Must get a move on with my learning task one and have a look at some more websites, edu blogger as well.

Wesley Mission

I am off to Wesley Mission today to train 6 disadvantaged trainees on food safety.  I have been asked to do this ongoing training until June 2012 as part of my job as a sessional trainer/assessor, I am looking forward to my first session today.  I also have a Mahara used for reflections.
