Just been to first e-learning workshop. Thinking about doing research relating to learning vocabulary or improving writing for Year 10 French
 * April 21 2010**

Decided to work on vocabulary with Year 10. I have one class at AGHS. I have selected a few students from the class to focus on as their vocab. is poor. Some are very willing but others are reluctant to give things a go.I plan to do my research during the latest topic which is due to start next week. I plan to do a pretest and then offer a range of vocab. activities on "Moodle" as well as our school "Pool drive" and Quizlet. I have started to collect some data about the class and they are adjusting to the fact of evaluating their skills and learning. I will offer everyone the acess to the learning but will focus on about 6 girls.

I have been having a long conversation with the Wiki spaces people as well as our techno bods at school because I have tried to add to my page several times and the editor toolbar does not appear. I have lost a lot of time!! I have decided to go with the vocabulary research as that is an area that I can develop with "Moodle". We have had a few discussions in class finishing up with a brainstorm about all the ways we learn vocabulary. I put together a survey for my Year 10 class and also asked about how often they learnt vocab at home and how much time they spent on it. I am trying to collate these results together with their test results as they both make interesting reading.

Just checking that survey and notes are still there.I am busy putting activities onto the "Pool drive" as some of my girls do not have computer access at home.

Checking first! I seem to have a large white space above my first log. last term I selected 6 girls to be my "Special 10" and we started with some goal setting. They had to work on Quizlet and set themseleves another vocabulary goal. This term we have repeated the exercise for another 3 weeks and we are also going to start on "Moodle" next week as I have manged to book the computer room. August 2 2010 Just checking that my page is working.

Tomorrow we are going to "moodle" and I have put a hot potatoes exercise onto Moodle as well as documents relevant to our topic: Bonnes Vacances! August 5 2010 I have started to pull my results together and some are great but I am wondering why. My special 10 are going to do another reflection on how things are going. Moodle went off without a hitch and everybody had a go. I have asked special 10 to try to get onto Moodle at least one more time this week and have left them a message.

August 18 2010 I am slowly getting in messages from my forum question on "Moodle". As I predicted, my Special 10 are being a little slow.
