After our Quizlet session yesterday, I got busy and completed a scattergame to put into my wikispace for my online Word project. Thank you Christine! It was easy to do, and I ended up with 10 terms with 10 matching definitions.
A little problem arose after embedding into wikispaces, in a cell in a table. I have found that the size of the quizlet can't be expanded and so my terms and definitions are all on top of each other, very squishy. While in Edit mode I tried expanding the link (like a picture) but when saved reverted back to smaller size. Then I tried putting spaces into the table column to expand the cell itself, but when saved reverted back also. Any suggestions welcome.

elearning via Footy Tipping
We had a great meeting with Christine this week discussing using Google doc spreadsheets to record the footy tips scoreboard. This will also involve creating email addresses for some of our participants. The footy tipping is a popular attraction at the House so we see it as a great opportunity to get everybody on line and involved.
thanks Christine.

Still Plodding Along
Wow! Well done Maree.The bar has been set pretty high now. Maybe I'll be able to slip underneath.
Had a good meeting last week with the tutor and class members and support workers who will be using the blog I am creating for them. They are very enthusiastic and looking forward to learning new skills,. We used a large part of our Commonwealth equipment grant 2012 to buy ipads and they are very excited about the possibilities of using them to capture images which they can play with before posting to the blog. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be able to invite you to join to see for yourselves. It is frustrating that they are only with us for a couple of hours a week.
Enjoyed catching up in the online classroom yesterday. Hope to see some of you at the Transport in the East expo at Mooroolbark Community Centre on 25/2. For details check out getmeabout.org.au/expo .

Completion of Project - Well done, Maree!
I have just spent an enjoyable evening at a tutor meeting at Pines Learning.
The highlight was the presentation that Maree did to demonstrate and explain the Google doc she created for a number of tutors to use to complete the A-frame documentation for a new pre-accredited course that begins next week.
She used the data display to show us the Google doc and demonstrate how to use it. She also distributed notes on how to use it. None of the other tutors had previously used Google docs and their interest was demonstrated by the in-depth questions that Maree answered very well.
Maree has completed the project set for her last semester and produced an online document that will be in use at the centre from next week. Her answers to the questions she was asked showed that she had done a lot of research and demonstrated her knowledge of Google docs.
Congratulations, Maree, and thank you. I will be one of the tutors using the Google doc and it will make our work easier.
I look forward to working with Maree this semester on her new project.
Maree is our new Google docs guru!!
