todays study skills - oh noooo

Hi everybody - had a "feeling" about this one..

After about two hours of trying to figure out why my internet wasnt reaching the Polytech (cursing the satellite dishes whoops) I finally rang IT support at Polytech and the whole OP internet is down and has been since 10am... so we wont do a Study Skills today and I am happy to repeat the session next week instead? Same time? Tuesday 1 - 2pm... or a better alternative for me woudl be a bit earlier - say 10.30 - 11.30am Tuesday?

Hands up for which time and we can go with the consensus - Let me know as a blogged response to this one.. or via email.

What we were about to cover was an integration of time management with the personal learning and self assessment - the notes are useful!

Lovely to catch up last evening - hope I set your minds whizzing around - it is all drawig to you setting up a professional profile so hope you aretaking heaps of notes??

And.. your next Massage Practical sessions are going to be awesome - you have Irene day 1 and David day 2 - Take the time to clarify what you need for your examination - double check you know which day you are being a client and which day you are being a practitioner
and
I have asked David (not Irene) that you spend a bit of time with the Google docs - I gather there is a wee bit of difficulty and confusion there? Also any other questions (about practicals etc - let him know.

Irene will be great to ask about the anatomy as she has written the latest version of that course!! Some of you were asking about exams etc.

Kindest from me and here's to a happier internet connection soon.

Study Skills today

HI there

everybody I have seen today in Auckland has said it looks like rain - funny that - it rains everyday in Auckland!!!

Here is the Elluminate link for Study Skills...

http://elluminate.tekotago.ac.nz:80/join_meeting.html?meetingId=1248136183822

look forward to catching up - I want to do a check in wiht the next few assignments as they are a rounding up of our massage experience. To focus them - I want to take us through some concepts and practical ways of buidling a reflective practice... this will come back into play next term in your Communications course...

Each of your assignments need to have a reflective componenet - it is very much part of the rpofessional practice approach Check out the reflective blogger rubric - on the course page.... if this reflection has been detailed in your assignment - then you will be marked against this as criteria.

See you soon.

Todays Elluminate

Today's Study Skills Elluminate is set up to go and I have decide to let you have a go at running a study group online.This is because we are doing well in relation to course content delivery - but less well in getting the assignments various in...

This is also an online opportunity to sort out and discuss the issues of sustainability SS A Task 5 - next weeks Fundamentals session links in with this in relation to environmental sustainability/ economic sustainability/ social sustainability

I have had a go at making and sharing a google doc but may need David's technical support - in which case we will get that set up when he is available. Carry on with your blogs and meetings in the meantime it is "Interesting reading"!

I have attached the prompts to your emails - if you want to have a go at making a google doc - go ahead but share it with me!! as a collaborator!! Or in the meantime use the prompts as guidelines for your contributions.

And for those of you who are still wading through the other assessment tasks use the checklist on the email:

The problem with not making due by dates is that:

a. you get behind and it is a horrible feeling

b. your class mates miss you

c. you lose the option of resitting your assessments (both practical and theory)

Well have a great time....

Kind regards
