9 June 2010 Getting JIGGY with it

Finished my jigs for the biscuit jointer today which was good, managed to take some photos and video footage of the process. Didn't work on the tables as the jigs took alot longer to make than what i had thought.
This is a picture of the jig without the timber in it

During the weekend I worked on some drafts, today I handed it to a few colleagues (RS, BINZ) for feedback, I hope to get some feedback by this Friday. I had a brief meeting with my one of my bosses (CO) explaining what I had envisioned for the Multiskills programme. CO was very encouraging with the development work that was taking place.

I registered myself to moodle (online learning system) today. Moodle is going to be the vehicle I use to run all assessments, notes and workbooks from. I need to get up to speed on how to operate this system. I spent a good part of the day playing around with moodle and watching online tutorials............I can say I am none the wiser at this stage. I must persevere with moodle I am actually having fun though.

Working on table prototypes tomorrow I hope to get them finished by tomorrows end.

Today I worked and completed all the 1st drafts for the coffee table.

• Workbook for the students
• Assessment events
• Assessment model answers
• Assembly instructions

I have tried to incorporate numeracy, literacy, reading, writing, and ICT components into the assessment events.

I am eager to get feedback on the drafts when i get back to work.

I also need to get access to moodle (online learning system) so that I will be able to start dumping my teaching materials into the programme.
