Just getting started

Well this is my first official blog! So to begin ill give a little intro to each of our group members:

Kaitlin: first year PDHPE teaching

Gabby: first year PDHPE teaching (and a bit of a computer whiz which is lucky because the rest of us are pretty hopeless)

Luke: first year History teaching

Laura (me): first year PDHPE teaching

Hopefully this group should work out well as all of us except for Kaitlin live here on campus, making it easier for us to get together to collaborate and share our ideas and work.

So we had figured out a few weeks ago that we were all free on Tuesdays from 12-2. As a result we decided this would be our weekly group meeting time in the library where we could develop our Web Quest, make any important group decisions and collaboratively discuss our ideas.

As the majority of our group were studying PE and Luke had a strong interest in sport anyway, we decided to use dot-points from the PDHPE Stage 4 syllabus as the focus of our Web Quest.  So after choosing the specific outcomes and syllabus strand we were focussing on in our tutorial we organised our first group meeting for the following day. This wasn’t too productive as we were still figuring out what the assignment was all about, however we successfully allocated jobs and an even workload to each of our group members to complete individually.

Next week we hope to have a bit of a clearer idea of what this assignment requires and to achieve this we all are going to do some individual research of good Web Quests to see the format and quality we are striving for.
