Thoughts so far ...

I can't believe 3 weeks has passed since our first LearnScope session. Where has the time gone??? I have done the required homework but still feel like there is so much more I could be doing. I wish I had a PAUSE button somewhere!

I feel the need to rewind and comment on some things from the first LearnScope session that have stuck in my mind:

• Allison commented on reproducing exactly what is done in the LearnScope sessions back in her classroom. This was a bit of a light bulb moment for me (doh!) - of course that is what we can do and probably should be doing. I think I have previously had the notion I could use the tools but had to come up with my own way of doing things. Whilst, I may well have to modify things to suit my students at least I have a complete working template to start with!
• I thought the exercise we did to define flexible learning was great and a good way to get everyone moving around etc, I must try this too! If I remember correctly we wrote down our definitions, passed them around and then in pairs gave them a score of seven. We did this five times to get a possible total out of 35.
• Encourage students to use blogs for learning journals also. Get them to share with other students if they feel comfortable doing so. Suggest to them to take their notes there etc.

I'm sure there is more and hopefully it will come back to me!
