Collection of self-directed learning resources to help teachers develop skills with particular technologies. Some of these will be very useful for Assignment 1. Most will be useful more broadly.

Describes a problem experienced with the Assignment 1 checklist, it's cause and the solution I've implemented.
i.e. I've updated the version of the checklist available via the Study Desk. You only need to update if you find yourself having this problem.
This is a really good example of what you can post on your blog as part of the learning journal.
Frances has taken one of the activities from the learning path (Postmans 5 things), connected it with another event in her life and made connections. She's also link to a couple of online resources within her post.
You perhaps don't need to go quite as far as Frances. e.g. just using it as an example of one of Postman's 5 things would have been sufficient.

Apparently an easy to use tool that scaffolds the creation of images, banners and other graphical images ...."enables anyone to become a designer".
Could be useful for Assignment 1's IT artefact. But also if designing posters, slides etc in your own teaching (or other assignments).
One page summarising a talk about the design of online courses. Perhaps not directly related to EDC3100 students, though schools are increasingly having online spaces for classes. But it is an example of an "online artefact" (think Assignment 1).
It is also an example of the value of knowing why you're doing something, especially with ICTs. Has links to academic papers supporting some of the practices espoused.
Also raises some questions around the design of the EDC3100 study desk.
An example of web-based artefact that could be used as a model for assignment 1. Use of metaphor to explain constructivism. A low-tech but interesting use of multimedia.
Kayla - a S1 2014 student - finds Powtoon an ICT she can use in her teaching and then uses it produce a video - "10 reasons why we should be using multimedia in the classroom".
Good example of an approach for an artefact for assignment 1.
Here's the first of the "links to online resources". It links to an earlier blog post of mine. But this is still an online resource.
This is likely to be the most common example of "link to online resource"
The image below (sorry had to highlight more than the image) is an example of a link to an online resource.
It's actually an example of two types.
First, click on the image and you get taken to a larger version of the image on another site. i.e. it's linked to another resource.
But the image itself as embedded in this page is actually coming from somewhere else online. Another example of a link to an online resource.
Hi djplaner
This image has many words that resinate with how I am feeling at the moment including; clever, excited, interested and successful! I am very excited to extend my knowledge of what the wonderful world of ICT has yet to teach me. I just learnt about ICloud and Drop Box today from one of the teachers on the campus. Just loving how everything on the world wide web is connected and through accidental networking I can learn so much!
Just clicking on this resource has linked me to another page with information regarding scootle and campus information. How beneficial! Who knew that pictures could be hyperlinked as well as words and URLs.
Using this post of mine to explain what the phrase "links to online resources" from the learning journal component of assignment 1 might include. Look at the annotations on this page for more explanation
Shared by @kellyfrintzilas on twitter. An article that looks at some of the benefits/positives of ICTs. Perhaps some inspiration here for assignment 1.
