Hello hello,

I have applied to change from primary education to secondary. Meaning most of my units will be up at the South street campus because Rockingham doesn't offer them. So Dani and I went up to South street on Friday to check it out. I have never been there before and was a little nervous about the idea. I couldn't believe how big it is! It was absolutely amazing! But I have to say that I love Rockingham because everyone knows everyone there and it's easy to find your way around.
As w...

Hello all,

What a great first semester I have experienced. I have really enjoyed all my units this semester and cannot believe how much help they have given us for our exams! During our lecture on Wednesday, Jan went through the 6 possible exam questions and gave us hints on how to prepare for each of them!



I thought it was generous  enough of Jan and Jenni to give us these questions (screenshot above), stating that three of the six will definitely be in the exam with the fourth remaining unk...

Hello,

Well I just have to say I’m glad this week is coming to an end! I submitted my assignment 3a last night, and am happy to say that I am proud of what my group and I have created. I started to stress a little yesterday when I tried to upload our video that Dani and I created (for the group project).  You tube was saying that it couldn’t play the movie. Firstly let me start off with explaining how we created it. We created a PowerPoint presentation and then used my ipad to record it, w...

Hello fellow bloggers,

Well another massive week has flown by! We had a really interesting lecture on Wednesday for EDN113. Guest lecturer Rob Phillips, spoke to us about the impact technology has on classroom teaching. He also spoke about different situations where multimedia can be usefully used within a classroom. For example if the experience is too expensive or dangerous to conduct within the classroom. Or if a concept is too hard to visualize. He then asked volunteers from the audience t...

Hello,

This semester is going far too quick! I feel like all I have been doing the last few weeks is assignment after assignment after assignment.....! I thought I had finished assignment 2 for EDN113, I did a last check through the assignment details and realized that I needed one more reference! I thought we only need five references but upon re-reading the brief it actually says more than five! :( So that is what I am going to do now, find another reference. I found it extremely difficult a...

Hi all,

Week eight already, I can't believe it! Looking through my study plan for the semester I have discovered that my next three assignments are all due in the same week! I really want to give myself enough time on each of them to make them the best they can be. So this morning I have started working on assignment two for EDN113 when looking at the overview of the assignment, I didn't think it was going to be too difficult but I have quickly changed my mind. I have found it extremely diffi...

I possibly did it the long way but I did it in the end. The page continued to not respond so I double checked that I had all my blogs saved on file and deleted the whole blog page. I then one by one re-entered all my blogs, copying them from word, to note pad and then into the blog form. I then had to go through and re-create all my hyperlinks and upload all my screen captures again. You will notice if you read through my previous blogs they have two posting dates. I made ...

Hello again,

Well what an eventful morning I have had with this blog. When I log onto my yola account and select my blog page it will simply just not load, and the only thing I can do is post a new blog by selecting the new post button at the top of the page. My entire blog page is frozen and just continues to say reloading. So I immediately went to the help button and they said it can be caused by copying and pasting from a word document or an i...

Hello Hello,

Wow week six already and I feel incredibly hopeless this week. My tonsillectomy went well last Thursday but I am still in a lot of pain and am not yet back at uni, which I absolutely hate the thought of! These next few weeks are some of the most important weeks with key concepts being taught and I am having to follow on at home like an external. Which even when I am feeling 100% I am not very good at I am a better learner in the cla...

Hi all,

Well it is Tuesday of week five, a non-teaching week! It is nice having some time off from uni to be able to catch up on my readings and get through some more assignments. Yesterday I completed assignment 1b for EDN113, I felt so relieved once I had put it up on my site and checked that it was all working, just a draft at the moment but it's up there! It took me so long to put it all together. I was really trying to put as much detail in ...

Hello fellow bloggers,

So today I began working on assignment 1b for EDN113. To be honest I was hoping to have started it earlier and now I am realizing that I really should have as it is going to take me a lot longer than I thought! A part of the assignment is to research a social technology, and I have chosen one that I am really unfamiliar with! We then have to write up a detailed description on how to use it. I am trying to put as much detai...

Hi all,

It is hump day of week three and I am starting to feel the stress of studying full time! All the different assignments due, some due in the same weeks and others that are spread out which fools you into thinking you have ages before you need to start it and then you realize that the due date has arrived a lot quicker than expected.

I have just completed my first online quiz for EDN110 (Mathematics for Teaching) and got 90% so pleased. Thi...

Well that's week two down. Still really enjoying being a full time student. I think I could still squeeze in a bit more study than I have been but I am coping.
I've just printed off my draft for my first assignment for EDN111 and I have realized that I really don't make much sense when writing late at night!
Glad It's the weekend except most people get a long weekend.....not me I have uni on Monday and it's my least favourite unit maths! Lucky m...

Hi all,

Well this is my first website and my first ever blog. When first told about this assignment I was a little freaked out, I know the basics with computers but I had no idea how to make a website. So after my first tutorial for EDN113 I thought I'd go home and have a go at it straight away thinking that it was going to take weeks for me to work it out. Surprisingly it wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. I selected one of the suggeste...
