VIEWS FROM THE BUS. A BIG RAINBOW DAY!

Ireland is the land of rainbows they say and I must agree. These pics were taken alone the route on showery days with the sun popping in an out long enough to prism the clouds into these glorious rainbows

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST....FEEDBACK!

Last week we had a feed back session with one of our course organizers. I thought it was welcome, especially at this stage when we are just half way through the course. There fore any adjustments can be made in time for the students to benefit from the second half of the course.
Can you think of any name for the course apart from "Employ Me" ? was a question put to us.
How about "Bridge The Gap"
or " Never too late" as most of the students are over 35.
It was said that we feel as a group that it is great to have courses for the over 35 age group as most of the courses are aimed at a younger audience 16-30

It was also said that we are not so proficient in  the Dreamweaver software and that the course criteria are not yet on Moodle, so we feel a lack of clear aims and objectives for the course.
Yesterday the criteria are now on Moodle and the lesson was much better.

THE STORY OF A STORY BOARD

I don't like my site so far. I cant connect with it for some reason. I have been using word to prepare the story board so far. Then my colleague sitting next to me said "why don't you use publisher? It's so much easier than word to create the boxes for the site". I never heard of publisher until now and luckily she was sitting next to me so that I now can use this option which I really like.


I am also finding it hard to choose a set colours for the site as they all look good to me and so I have decided to re-do the whole thing in a simple white background. |I wont have buttons but instead just text that links to the various pages.


Yes I like it much better already and the little logos I made on wordle.com look much better now also.
This is the old version
OLD VERSION



NEW VERSION
I Like the white colour better, its more neutral and cleaner. The final product will not have the boxes, and just the text. Publisher makes it easy for me to copy the page seven times so that I can work on each page individually.
