Second Meeting with All Networks

Well I had volunteered to by one of the facilkitros for this meeting and as luck would have it I had a bad e-day.

I had suggested that we have a Soccer theme to the meeting but oh dear the socceroos had been knocked out the previous day!!

Anyway carol and I had decided to make a quiz in Illuminate and trialled this with people in the group. It worked well and it it was really exciting to see the results as we went.

Good to hear how everyone was going and we look forward to the next meeting.

I will put up some instructions for how to use the quizz in Illuminate!

I have been in touch with TALO and asked if anyone has any tools to share. the following posts highlight some of these for everyone to try! This will form our discussion for July in the Edna groups!

Illuminate Chat

Our first online chat with Hunter.....

It was a disaster with the technology... and that is all I am going to say

Network Meeting 20th June

Our second meeting and we spent the morning in the computer room!

The outcomes were:

• Join everyone up to the Edna group
• Trial Quia (Web based quizz tool)
• Use the Illuminate Chatroom

Everyone was very excited about using the Edna group but it is not that staright forward. I have removed the key to the group but it took more time than I expected! oh well, everyone joind and then spent time adding to the forums that are available!!!

Quia was a great experience, easy to use and everyone had lots of fun trying it out. These are examples of what we did in a very short time!
