Fellowship

I heard from AD today and I am to turn up to Scion at 9.30am on Tuesday 1 Feb. I am now nervous about the whole thing.On Friday the flight to Wellington is on. Now I will wonder what I shall wear to both places. I think the being nervous feeling is just a natural stage after the excitement. I am going to blog about my Fellowship. I want to set up a wiki but that might come later. I am waiting for the FaceBook group thing to come through. I have put my profile on -I think in the right place.

Face Book

Now I know why people use FB for quick catch up. Now I am getting better at using it by keeping comments light and not navel gazing like my blog tends to be. I still need to learn how to communicate with someone who is online the same time as me.
Only 5 days before my Fellowship starts with my day in Wellington.

Communication

I am learning about the different uses for Face Book, blogging and email. I really need to make sure I use them correctly and not cross the line. So while I have put a photo and a quick comment about my flooded front lawn on my Face Book I suppose it was wrong as FB seems more for fun things. Never mind I am learning.

Face Book

I finally got myself on Face Book. Now I am wondering will I still need this blog. I think I need to really consider what I will use these 2 different things for.

E Fellow

I just found the final report on R's and the rest of the e fellows from Core Education-- WOW it makes for some powerful reading. What was also great was that Robyn hadnt actually seen the final report - only the draft and I could tell her where it was. Fancy me using google and email in a real context.

I think its the next step for our PD after our ICT contract as its about using ICT/inquiry etc to help improve our students literacy. It talks about student engagement and heaps of other things we have been talking about. An interesting comment for me was "We also need examples of literacy learning in e learning contexts within other disciplinary areas such as science." So as well as my science type objects I still need to make sure I keep student learning at the heart of what I will be doing on my science fellowship. (However, that may come in a bit later)

Science in the Park

OOPs got the wrong date -its on saturday 12 March not the 19th. Its called Science in the Park - Discovering Scion.

New Start

I am once again feeling more positive about life and I am really looking forward to the Science Fellowship to begin. We are organising Mum's unveilling for 19 Feb. I have enjoyed seeing my family again now that they are all back from their holidays. I have been looking at Scion's Annual Reports and Forest for Life site. Science in the Park is on Saturday 19th March so I am going to see if my granchildren can come. I will also ask school can they put it in the newsletter.I think the photo is of one of the plants (with its associated bugs ) that I will be learning about.
