We’ll be taking plenty of audio, video and photo evidence to show you! Have you done Stream A already? How did it go?

We have got a play all set to go. The characters include are ‘The Standards,’ ‘The Narrator,’ and ‘The Inner Investigator.’ Stay tuned! :-)

Please click on the comments section at the end of this post and share something about how your presentations went, or how you are preparing for them.

The focus is images, not words. Feel free to use it if it works for you!

Crazy I know, but we thought we would make the most of the fact we were sitting around together.

Those of us working away were chatting about what we were going to do for Module 2 and Tina came up with the idea of incorporating some drama and actually performing a play. She has even scripted it already! Here is a link to her draft - she emphasises that is is still very much a work in progress! The Standards have been incorporated into this play as an actual character, and there is the Inner Investigator who appears to help the teacher think about her practice…ooh, it will be lots of fun. Have a read and let us know what you think by leaving a comment.

Here I’ll write some reflections on preparing for the modules, and put up some resources I find or ideas I have that I think others might be interested in. Please leave comments on the bottom of the posts I write here so that the conversation goes beyond what I write. Also, if any of you have ideas, reflections etc that you would like to add to this blog, then let me know and I can add you as a user so you can post here as well. Might be a good way for some of you to get started with blogging if you like!

I had a great time meeting all of you in Adelaide. Let’s keep the contact going!
