This is where the next Learnscope should be held. Don't you think? All expenses paid of course. :-)

Outreach Coordinators in NSW

I have created an address book in the Outlook Global Address which lists all Outreach Coordinators and Teachers (to the best of my knowledge), i.e. @det outreach. Just go into your Outlook/create new message/and type in @det outreach. If you want to check who is listed on this list, just right click on the address and this lists all names in alphabetical order. As I am listed as the "owner" of this distribution list, please let me know of any additions or deletions to this list.

You can use this to send out information and/or refer to websites that other Outreachers may be interested in.

Learnscope 2005

Am beginning to see the value of a blog and the value it can be to have all info in one location to assist Staff.
Will need to have a list of addresses to enable quick access until become confident.
Can see the value to set up a blog for Outreach -college specific to have resources such as assessment templets. Better access for home users.

Outcomes from the workshop

This is an excellent opportunity to learn how to use "blogging" for educational purpose, post resouces, communicate between students, teachers etc. I would like to use this opportunity to the maximum.

Hi Everyone - Worth Checking Out!

Hours of Driving must equal Motivation

I have reentered that place where we were last year that is slightly confusing and somewhat out of control but I seem to keep on moving headlong towards something. Still trying to work out how this will work for me and whether this time it will stay and become part of normal behaviour.

Snow glorious snow!!

Another amazing day in the mountains: 14 lifts, good skiing & boarding, extensive grooming and copious amounts of sunshine all day long. Come and live it up at Mt Buller!

Usefulness

I have discovered some wonderful resources and some very useful sites within the nswtox blogs site, but I am wondering how I will be able to access and use all this stuff in terms of time and motivation? I am starting to see that this may be more user friendly than Janison Toolbox and can be set up informally. Does blogs have the 'chat' facility?
This all sounds much too formal for this time of the morning, I will tone down and calm down.

NSW TAFE Datawarehouse

The TAFE data cube is really handy to check out stats about enrolments or ASCH, by Institute, or by College, by language etc. It is on the intranet, so I can send you the link once I get back to the office.

Remember that Survey

Thanks Leigh! I have taken Leighs advice and set up the survey on "survey monkey". Click here to take survey
As you have already filled it out you don't need to fill it in again, except those two people who had take notes on their pages, if you could enter the information on to this it would be great.
As Leigh promised it is quite straight forward, this is a limit of 10 questions which is why the email attachment question is not there.

Welcome to the Blue Mountains

What a great group of people we have for the Learn Scope project. Here
is hoping by Wednesday you will have had some snow and gained skills and
strengthened connections that will enable us to share resources, skills
and knowledge.
