Day Two

PANICKING



Yes Chickens, if anyone is tempted to feel that way - stop now. You are all doing really well for this early stage of the course and I thought you guys did a fantastic job of the presentations on Monday afternoon. Everyone was really in the groove re the dreaded topic of 'contextualisation'.

I have put the revised training plan on Moodle. I thought it wasn't a bad idea to have it there for reference anyway. Those who missed class on Monday please note that the date of the last day of the course has changed due to difficulties arranging flights to Alice Springs for a course I am delivering there.

For the Day 3 assessment tasks you will need to print out the contents of the OHS_task folder and the Inclusivity_tasks folder. The 3rd party reports are not for the in-class activities, but you may have questions about them. The Workplace Project is an independent assessment task. It would be a very good idea to print out the instructions, read them and come to the next class ready to ask questions about them. All these documents are in the Assessment tasks_Cluster One folder. I have put the due date for the hand in of the the Cluster One assessment tasks on the Calender.

I have put this information on Moodle as well- so there can be no excuses for not getting it. Next week we will be quarter way through the course. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun.

Quote for the week 'The first step is half way on a thousand mile journey.' This gem comes from a chinese philosopher called Lao Tzu.

Day One for the Class of Feb 09

Hi Chickens,
Well I hope you guys weren't too overwhemed by your first plunge into the dangerous waters of VET. I promise you that soon all the Vet-speak will become second nature and the complex web of Vet organisations will become familiar, then everything will fall in place for you.

I have made an email folder and will shortly send out the first group email. If anyone doesn't get it please send me an email to carole.buck@dhrca.com and I will edit your address as necessary.

For day 2 Cert IV TAA you will need to print out the contents of the BTP_simulation folder and also 11 env_Use_TAAO4_T.P.v1.doc. You will find these in the Assessment Tasks_Cluster One folder on Moodle. You should also have a browse through the DES401B resource book to familiarise yourselves with the topic.

I have also put this information on the news forum in Moodle and also in the email so hopefully everyone will get the message.

See you all on the 23rd Feb, and remember, as Bette Midler once said:
'To be successful you don't need good looks or talent - all you need is enthusiasm.' It is my favourite quote.
