ETL501 final thoughts

With the final assignment back its time to reflect on the subject as a whole.
So far I have found this to be the most well organised and resourced of the subjects and I found the content exciting, challenging and inspiring. Creating a pathfinder was an excellent assessment and the potential for these for teaching and assessments is huge. The assessment also highlighted the importance of gaining a fuller understanding of the Australian National Curriculum and working within the general capabilities.  But perhaps most importantly, the need to plan and structure the search process as well as pathfinder and the resources contained within them was made abundantly clear through this process. But having done this once I can see that future efforts will be much quicker and better planned.

One great outcome of having done this unit is that I have created 2 other websites for local clubs and groups and although the formatting sometimes drives me crazy, I have been encouraging others to use simple programs like weebly too.
