Informal Learning

So how best to list informal learning?

In my job as I have such a varied role it is hard to work out if I am constantly learning or hardly learning anything!

I'm going to split it into my 3 job roles I think:

Research Assistant

Magical spelling
On line literature search, statistical analysis of the spelling mistakes made by class in optional SATs, research into learning styles, one to one training on Magical Spelling method, planning and recording sessions, investigating action research methods, reporting back to the cluster, giving feedback session and demonstration to staff, helping set up new spelling policy for school.

Telling into Writing
4 meetings with literacy co-ordinator responsible for project, improving on-line search techniques (including investigating new search engines such asKartoo.com), investigating copywrite law and its implications for the visual aids required for the project, working out best gestures to use for teaching the class a narrative poem, using the experience gleaned from this to decide on the best gestures for the Hansel and Gretal story, working as a TA during the two week block whilst constantly reviewing the techniques being used with class teacher, designing evaluation questionnaires for staff and pupils, working with small groups on computers to faccilitate their production of individual stories told from the viewpoint of either Handsel or Gretal, investigating ways of putting these stories on-line, reporting back to the cluster on the project.

That's enough for now, I'll put the stuff about Monitoring the Buddy System later.
