VOC 1 Update

I have posted in the VOC 1 page, a report on something that my group, Paiget, did during the contact teaching days in September. I'm not entirely sure how this is supposed to work, so I link to it here.

It includes the story of the Happy and Unhappy Kingdoms and the rest of the short workshop on positivity in teaching.

Check it out!

Contact teaching days in September 2013

This week we had two contact teaching days (2nd and 3rd September) in Oulu and it was the first time meeting the teachers and classmates in person, which was nice.

The days seemed hectic, engaging and educational. Very much skimming the surface of what the rest of the course will be about. All in all, very positive so far.

New things were using the browser-based polling system,  Socrative, which seemed very useful and also making Pecha Kuchas (or as I call them, Machu Picchus, ahaha and indeed ha).
