I wanted to continue my reflection on the first 2 weeks with some on the rest of the course as we go along, so in an attempt to catch up I shall start now considering week 3.
The activities for week 3 seemed to be mainly reading the case-studies and considering how they related to our own situations.
Personally, I haven't had a large amount of experience with ePortfolios, so MyStuff is coming as a first introduction. However, I am interested in seeing how they can be used for formative assessment and progress tracking.
My version of Activity 2.1 may have benefitted from including more critique as I felt at the time I was being mainly descriptive of the applications I read about. However, as these are just notes on the papers we read, maybe it's better that it is descriptive. There was some reflection in the posts on the forum.
At the end of that week was the optional reflection activity. I was keen to do this before starting on the reading about reflection and this did push me well into week 4, but I think it was worthwhile to get my thoughts together for the first 2 weeks.
