The PPD Module

Hello Gang,

Having spent time emailing work to you and (inevitably) getting email addresses wrong, I figured I'd embrace modern culture and use a blog as a means to get stuff to you. Pebblepad still seems to be a little slow in coming forward and I suspect that nobody has yet received their login details - please let me know if you have - so thought I'd resort to plan b and find my own blog spot.

I'm going to use this to post details of tasks that need to be completed, allowing you to respond immediately and ask questions of me (and each other). This can be accessed from anywhere and should therefore mean that I don't have to interupt you in Dominic's sessions so often. That's not to say that you will be entirely left to your own devices and I will still make a point of dropping in to check how things are going. I hope that this will be useful?

The posts that follow this will each detail a particular aspect of the work that you need to complete, including the assignment. This may be subject to some changes (LMU are still dragging their heels on verifying it) but won't change that drastically and you really need to see what you're aiming for. As I said at the beginning of the course, there are three parts to the PPD module:

• Portfolio of tasks completed and evaluations of these
• Reflective Journal (should be PebblePad based but if they don't send details soon we'll have to all shift onto here)
• Presentation outlining targets set and how well you've achieved against these

The assignment provides more detail on each of these tasks, especially the presentation - but this won't take place until the end of semester 1.

Thanks
Kerry
