What has Meg been doing?

Hi everyone
Just to let you know that I have been very busy working on the project. I have been working on the Moodle side of the Cert IV in Youth work, so that we will have something to sloodle into , if that makes sense! Those of you in the project will be able to check out the following two moodle courses which are under development, Work within a legal and ethical framework and Contribute to OH&S processes. At first Jason and I thought that we would integrate these, but when we realised how much content we had to cover, we have now split them. They are almost complete and ready for the Sloodle part to be included.
I have developed the Worksheets, now called Unit Outlines in consultation with Jason. I have found some wonderful resources on the www, from Tabor Youth colleagues and from our library. I have also learned to scan a document, email it to myself and then upload it as a Pdf to the moodle as a resource for students! Jason is going to upload some SABU specific resources as well, which will add to and compliment what is there already.
We would love some feedback from fellow team members re the moodle sites.
I also enjoyed meeting Malcolm Jolly, even if it was on my day off. He has a lot of experience and really gave us some good ideas and got us thinking. He is also offering to let us visit Gipsland TAFE's virtual world on SL. Does anyone have the slurl so that I can do that? ( Hey my SL vocab is expanding!)
cheers everyone :)

  1. I should also add that I attended a recorded session on Illuminate called Avatar Centred Learning. It was recorded at a recent online conference. I thought it was quite good and it made me realise that we are ahead of a lot of people already.

  2. Great post Meg thanks. Great timing as it helped me with the progress report that was due today!! I'm really excited about the moodle resources you guys are putting together - and I love how the new competency, Work within a legal and ethical framework, really seems to fit well with the use of Second Life / online activity. Well done on the Second Life speak (slurl) :-). Don't have a link just yet but we'll all be meeting with him online on Tuesday and he'll show us around. The plan is to jump onto Second Life, then Malcolm will teleport us there :-).
