Rising waters

Not much time to post to this reflective blog....

I may work on top of a hill, but I had to evacuate my office last Thursday as the neighbouring computer rooms went under water. Now I know why they're called the 'pooled rooms'.

For me, the most unfortunate consequence of this is that I had to miss almost all of the third biennial e-learning conference at Brookes on Friday, so that I could sort out things here - specifically the Teacher Training Agency's QTS skills test centre, which needed re-locating, re-scheduling, etc. All this whilst trying to spend time on the online Tutoring course. It was a tough first week, but the next week is even tougher, involving collaborative learning, teamwork, etc. Rewarding it will be - but it's quite a slog, especially as it's difficult to see exactly what we're aiming for.

I'm now hoping that the mists will clear as more of our sub-group of ten students start posting in the discussion topic set aside specifically for our collaborative exercise.
