I had training today on Moodle. I already have a Moodle site for my Web Design L1 course, and was told that I had one of the best Moodle sites in the college at the moment which was great to hear.
Still room for improvement though - so planning to set up an initial topic with graphics that lead into each session to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I'll enjoy doing that!
As far as the IWB goes, I was shown the spotlight - which I'm sure will be really helpful in Web Des, and the recorder - again something I'm sure I can use. Think the hide & slide will be less useful - but perhaps just need to think more imaginatively and now I know it's there, I may come up with a use for it.
Talked about LAN (?) being able to link all users to the IWB so that I can demo good work, and again this will be great to include. Feel very motivated to get going now :)

Assignment plan session
Went pretty well. Title good. Less focus on search skills per se and more on teacher as facilitator. Have got some books to read from the library (first hurdle overcome!).
These notes are the key points from my assignment proposal: ICT to enhance learning and teaching; can teachers ignore ICT, changing role of teacher ie managing information; very little interactive ICT; aim to explor how to implement ICT, disjunction between teachers & students, opportunity to engage (ie close the gap).
Slide 5 notes - Models - tutor, tool, tutee (TTT) does touch on this, pluralistic model of pedagagy - ie different models for diferent subjects / aims.
Slide 6 - Thinking can be expressed in a variety of formats (ie not just written down, but vocally, graphically etc). Can we / should we use technology to express thinking creatively.
Slide 7 - Often computer use is Ritualistic - ie using computers very unimaginatively. Teachers skill set is an issue. eg I produce my workbooks as a long, full course document, and then split lessons up to go on Moodle. If I 'thought' differently, and produced my notes in separate lessons, I would save myself a job.
Digital immigrants and digital natives is the interesting slant. As is pedagogy - talking about lots of pedagogies (can't remember the exact term but wrote it down), different use of ICT for different courses.
Thoughts for research project - Facebook environment for learners? - trial it and evaluate it's worth in our setting.
