<br />
Some thoughts on session 2 before I forget them. The overall structure is well thought out and researched however I am feeling the cognitive load ( may be I am doing this as well as my normal activities plus trying to see if I can do this on an iPad which is slowing me down). At present I am feeling quite overwhelmed with the number of activities I am to cope with. From the readings, personal blog posts, microblog posts and responses. The time allocations for some of the activities are overly optimistic. For example, I would be hard pushed to respond to the micro blog activity on definitions in 3 mins when I am also trying to respond to the thoughts of other participants.<br />
.. Anyway back to the course....</div>

As a face to face teacher I have been exploring the use of Adobe Connect so students can choose to participate either in class or at other locations. So we coined a term </div>

Looking forward to working and trialing the sp4ed micro-OOK. Am also going to try to only access it on my iPad to see how this goes :)<br />
