In 2005 I moved to Australia from Devon, UK, with my husband Gareth and my two children, currently 14 and 12 years. I am originally from Pembrokeshire in Wales. Whilst in the UK I was a police officer for 16 years whilst my husband was in the Royal Navy. This lead to an interesting life! We emigrated for a better way of life and the Royal Australian Navy provided this opportunity for us. I found a new career as an Education Assistant at Leeming SHS Education Support Centre and during 2010 I enrolled as a mature aged student at Murdoch University to embark on a new journey towards becoming a Primary school teacher.
I am aware this will be a slow, but hopefully rewarding process. In the meantime I still enjoy getting out and about pounding the streets to clear my head in between all the sports and school activities of my children.
The textbook
Posted by Deborah Marjoram on Wednesday, April 27, 2011
Feeling quite smug now that I went through the textbook and made notes on how we could improve our group work, as when Jasmine was preparing the "Blog" page on our Tech2A website, I had made notes form the textbook giving advice on using Blogs. Our website is coming along very well but feel like we are having to cut out or condense quite a lot of things. We have tightened up our expectations of the students, giving the teacher clearer guidelines on what the students are to produce, and we have amended the timescale from 10 weeks to 4 weeks. This amendment came about from a posting on LMS by the tutor Jenni and following the thread of discussions. I still follow the discussions and assist very often. This week I have answered problems on Endnote, Dani's video and display areas. Dani's video takes a while to load and one student believed it wasn't working, I expalined what was needed on the 2b researcher task, which was endorsed by Jenni today, and one student didn't realise what was meant by display area for the work which the students produce.
