 * Day 1 Reflection -** How challenging!!! How tiring!! How hot is that room??? The biggest challenge for me today was creating my own "Teaching and Learning Taxonomy". I would have liked more time to complete the Jigsaw activity on the different learning models. I really like "playing" with the online tools. I can see the application of the Seeing Reason Tool in creating [|webdilemmas]. Looking forward to tomorrow.


 * Day 2 Reflection** - Module 3 filled in some gaps, especially in regard to framing questions. In fact if I had done module 3 before module 1 and 2, I may have coped better on the first day. Module 4 was excellent in looking at assessment. I am struggling with putting the unit plan together as easily as I would have hoped.


 * Day 3 Reflection** - Really enjoyed today - it started to click together! I really enjoyed the opportunity to use the Visual Ranking Tool, and the Seeing Reason Tool. I need to spend much more time editing my unit plan but the questioning is starting to come together.

Current Unit Plan - needs plenty of work - gaps etc. Also attached is unit plan being modified.

**Day 4 Reflection** - A much more working day to day. There has been major improvements in the quantity of work in my unit plan - quality will mature with age like a good wine! Really enjoyed the discussions today




 * Day 5 Reflection -**



**If you have not done the Essentials course:**

 * How have you found the course in general?** The course has been fantastic in its content, presentation and engagement. I am looking forward to presenting this course as I feel that it will be very beneficial in helping teachers in assessing ICT for visual thinking but will also equip teachers to more readily engage their students in having a deeper understanding of material. The tools also start to provide students with a framework/process that they can use to problem solve throughout their lives.
 * Have you felt that you have been disadvantaged by not having done the Essentials course?** Yes in some way but not in others. Once we had done module 3, then "penny dropped" as far as the questioning framework and the essential question. Creating my own "Teaching and Learning Taxonomy" was a challenge. I would believe that it might be better to start with module 3?????
 * Do you feel equipped to run the course back in your own school?** Yes but it took the first two days to get into the mode of taking notes on how to present as well as
 * What are the things you are wondering or still have questions about?**
