Dear all,

Half of the course gone, time is passing by quickly! And the most exciting part of the course is starting: the development of your own prototype. We hope you got a lot of good ideas from the show and tell sessions last week and are busy designing your own teaching intervention. I have attached a short overview of an adapted model of Dabbagh and Ritlands categorisation of learning technologies. It might help you find the right tool for your teaching and learning activity.

Activities for this week include

- Reflection 2, which is due on Wednesday, the 23rd of May. In this reflection you have started to design your own prototype answering initital questions: what pedagogical problem would you like to address? what technology have you selected? why?

- You can present your initial ideas to get feedback in the online session on the 23rd of May. Please put down your name on our doodle to book your time slot. Link to doodle: http://www.doodle.com/hpbvgg67774bp5w6

If you are still experiencing problems posting on the blog, please create your own blog. Welcome to world of blogging Kristian, Najwa, Juliana, Simone and Samantha. JP posted a very nice introductory tutorial on blogger in our Facebook group. Alternatively you could post your reflections into the Facebook group, to get feedback!

You will receive feedback on your reflection 1 by Wednesday, either as a comment on your own blog entry, a reply to your comments on the CHECET blog or in the Facebook group, for those whose comments were not posted on the blog. You will be marked on your written reflections, not on your presentations in the Adobe Connect sessions. You can find the rubrics we are using for marking in the course outline.

Good luck!

The CHECET team
