October Update

It's been a while since I posted anything in the blog, but work has been going on in the meanwhile with the VOC 1 studies.

Next week will bring the last Connect Pro teaching session of the four. The first one had my group, Piaget, as hosts, which meant little preparation and some activity during the session. The second session had us presenting, but unfortunately I was unable to attend as I was in Nepal with Anna (doing some education related work - watch this space) but I was able to fully participate in the Piaget group preparation beforehand.

Out group has shrunk now to three people, but it doesn't seem to be a problem as we are able to work well, in time and produce what I think is good work, just the three of us.

Last time, we were presenting and I was able to participate fully in the session. It was an interesting and quite enjoyable way of working. Our group presented on portfolio working and that was especially useful (for me and, I think, for those I was "teaching") as it's something I've been working with and I was happy to properly learn some theory behind it.

One thing we looked at was Wix, which is a site for creating your own digital portfolio. I have made a mental note to actually use this service one day. I fully expect that mental note to get buried in the mental mess of my mental desktop... But the note is there somewhere...

And so next week provides the last chance to present our groups amazing work, which this time will be on group dynamics.

Cheers!
