self peer tutor

Stardate 23 april

I was assessed this morning or inspected or looked at poked and probed lol, the assessment went fairly well. I need to ad a extra part to ma lesson plans so someone can cover for me in the event of my untimely death. I use to have a part in my lesson plans which had the how is the group assessed bit, and what is the teacher doing and the learners doing, the way it was described it sounds like this is due for a resurrection all hail self peer tutor, ill expand it, also it was suggested adding questions to my handouts would allow me to record progress in a easily assessable way I’m sure the learners will grumble and not see the point but hey when has education ever been about them.

Its my party and...

Its my birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy XD I know all growed up and stuff. I assume you’re present is in the post. Speaking of birthdays one of ma learner’s turns 40 this month so were going out for lunch to celebrate. I wouldn’t normally do this but he has downs syndrome and has been on the course for years. So in the interest of peace n good will ill abandon my hermit lifestyle for the afternoon and go shan’t be drinking as I have the earning lesson to contend with. The evening lesson got disrupted by my boss attempting to tidy the workshop around me; things needed throwing out seemed my lesson was the time to do it. Disrupted the start but we discussed how to improve the room which is now being shared with a greater number of people.

I’m writing my assignment 4, I chose to write it about second life as it interests me, I have been exploring the educational aspect of the world .As part of the thing I want to make a video to better explain it, so I attended a series of lectures in world to find out how to do this .The lectures presented by Jim Gustafson a German programmer were presented in English using the voice capability of second life and also typed to accommodate those with out the facility, and also provided a log to act as lesson notes, was interesting stuff felt like a good real lesson. I need to figure out how to make an exhibition in sl, will probably be on my own land now as I had a small argument with the person I was going to borrow some space off. The artist inside me thought the place didn’t need another empty castle and felt she could use her own skills to make something more creative. Note to self not everyone wants to be taught. That said she taught me how to render a sculptie and hey we all know how useful that is.

Back into it again after half term I finished ma assignment number 3 I hope its ok. If it’s wrong ill make it right. I was just having a look at my pdp file seeing what needs addressing. I understand why it’s vague and open id probably complain if It was focused and closed. Lessons resumed again I quite enjoyed both. The learners are pleasingly motivated and enthusiastic; my great fear is of them reaching the end of something and asking me what they should do next. Today a few learners reached this point and all had plans for what they wanted to progress onto it’s a good sign and one that tells me there into it. That said Derek will soon complete his planter project I asked him if he has any ideas for the next and to be thinking of something but as aback up plan I asked him to bring his glass with him so if necessary we can choose something to suit what he has. Assignment four is upon me I know what I want to write about but I’m hoping that we just have to debate an idea and not actually does the thing will assist me in it being accepted.
