Welcome to Managing e-Learning 2015
This blog is not designed to be like your task. It is a sandpit for me to play in to try and answer any technical questions you may have - I'm learning too. I love a tricky question or a problem to solve!
I have taught MeL for a few years now, although not in 2014. I'll will be dropping in on your blogs to see how you are going and to offer some encouragement, support and a challenging question or two. I'll also use this space to try things out and share some examples.
I've been playing with this blog on and off for a while now and you will see some old things from previous year's courses.
You may like to have a look at the blogs of some MeL students from previous courses. Not all of them are still active but some are still blogging.
A warning - their tasks were different to yours this year so just use them for inspiration and to help you think critically about what and how you post on your blog.
Digital camera use - edutopia

This is very interesting Jacqui, as I have done photography for quite a few years now I understand completely what Jim is talking about.The content is everywhere, when you have the camera in the hand, you have the tool to capture the content and relate to other things. It is a great tool to take into the classroom for so many reasons. Asking children to use the camera to capture images that relate to the topic or content being taught is a fun and educational way for them to observe and understand that content.
I can remember convincing the parent group in the preschool class where I was doing my internship to buy a digital camera - they were so expensive - and then crashing the whole school network by downloading too many 1 meg photos!! How things have changed. I agree Tom, images are a tool for students to explore content and learning.
