The role of the e-diary
 

The modules encourage you to: 

  • Reflect on past experiences
  • Reflect on the way you teach now
  • Reflect on the way you experienced the activities in the module
  • Reflect on change.
  • The e-diary (electronic diary) is a word processor document where these personal, reflective comments are recorded. These reflections are required in the activities of the module; sometimes comments are encouraged, but optional.

    You could describe your e-diary as "a container of my thoughts on this module".

    Opening the e-diary for the first time

    You should be able to open the e-diary for the first time by clicking on its hyperlink which you will normally find in the first activity. In other words you should be able to click on the words " click here to open the e-diary" and it should open a file called e-diary.doc.

    On the Cd, each module has its own documents folder and its own e-diary file. 

    Initially, the e-diary will open as a file in your web browser (the programme you are using to read the files on the CD). Once you have made your comments in the e-diary, use Save As to save the file in your folder on the local school network. The e-diary will save as a Word file. 

    Using the e-diary

    For the rest of the module, when you are asked to use your e-diary to make comments, open the saved file from your personal folder. Add your comments, and save the file in the same place with the same name.
