You will learn how to plan and manage collaboration activities that integrate online collaborative tools to enhance the learning experience". What is DBB Lighthouse?This is the new secure access for staff and students in the Diocese of Broken Bay to Google Apps for Education (GAFE).
During this course you will submit tasks and collaborate using some of these apps. Tips from previous participants.1. A tip from past participants is to work through an Intel online module first, then submit through this website the reflective activity for the module outlined in this website using the tabs above.
2. Whilst the Intel Course has a tracking system, it does not track progress across multiple computers. Instead print out the course checklist and just tick off where you are up to. When you return you can then use the MENU on the Intel Course to quickly return to where you have progressed to. 3. Using the Intel Action Plan can be quite useful but you are not required to complete nor submit this plan to complete the requirements of our program. |
