Had a sinking feeling when I phoned Mulgrave this morning to check that our face-to-face session was still happening this afternoon. I was right - the manager was not able to dredge up any support from her ESL tutors or anyone else and was not prepeared to do it herself so that's the second of my organisations that has bitten the dust. Is it me? Better change my deodorant lol!
On a happier note, I phoned the rest of my eLeaders this morning for a supportive chat and found that Japara are definitely ready to set up their wiki and Ros wants to do it on her own with phone feedback if necessary after my initial discussion and planning session with her. I have organised to be available for chat next Monday if she needs to contact me with any technical questions. Its fantastic that she is having a go on her own - I am proud of her! That is definitely a goer!
Rowville are definite goers as well - slow to start but full of great ideas and keen as mustard! They are having a meeting tomorrow to discuss their preliminary ideas about their wiki and to firm on what they want on it it, links, images etc. I am seeing them again next Tuesday to walk them through how to set it up. They will be quick to learn. They have set up a blog but are having trouble accessing blogger.com at work. They sent me an invitation through my coonarahouse account and that didnt appear to let me in so am waiting on them sending me an invite to my other gmail account.
I also phoned Sue from OELP and am waiting on a response from her, however, she is miles ahead on her wiki although I don't hink she has set up a blog yet. Must get out the whip!
So that's it as far as my three remaining are concerned - not a bad effort - one wiki set up, two wikis about to be set up and two lots blogging. I am also going to show all the staff at Rowville how to use BBC when I am there next Tuesday. They don't feel brave enough to come online without extra help except for Lisa and she is usually on her day off when have our sessions.
On the Converge front - I have sent my photo to Christine and am currently putting my slides together to send to Claire. Have entered 22nd Nov as the deadline to send them off. Must make sure I remember to do that to give Claire time to put them all together. Have plotted some time at Coonara tomorrow afternoon to try and rustle up some signs for the project. It will probably be the last time I get time between now and Converge unless I go in and do it at night - then again I am working most of those nights online anyway lol! About to go online for the ementor session with Josie so will blog again soon. Cant keep up with Christine - she is such a prolific blogger - will have to lift my game!
