Podcasts
I have attended training recently to learn more about Podcasts and how they work. We also discussed the benefits to learners and teachers in using these tools.

Andrew Douche was the presenter, clever man, engaging and enjoyable sessions. I have added this video so that I can revisit how to do this.

E-portfolio Lessons from Coach Carole

 * How do you organise your personal work based documents? How do you share relevant evidence of competency with your RPL assessor? Doesn't it make sense to keep all your documents and data together in one place where you can find them? I used to store my documents, letters, certificates, stories, etc about my work history in folders on shelves in my office library - well actually they are still there - but now I have digitised most of these and added them to my eportfolio. This means I can access them from wherever I am and share with whomever I choose
