First year IP session

Attended a first year IP session on Thursday. The session difference from the second year sessions in the fact that all work concerning the case study is carried out in a single day, where as second year students have two weeks to research and present.

I was told to expect the first year students to be quite timid. However, they seems fairly involved and really eager to learn. The facillitator, Clare, instructed the students at the end of the session to reflect on their learning using PebblePad. She spoke about the benefits of recording their learning and suggested that it would be a useful as revision material for the end of year/module exam, overall she had a very positive attitude and has opted for her own account. I gave brief instructions (refresher) to the students, explaining how to get to the Webfolio tool in PebblePad and to use their paper based portfolio form a guideline. They were asked to share their reflections with both Clare and myself.
