Tried to contact students via their PDAs yesterday - interestingly only x2 were switched on during office hours - will be following this up to see whether they are actually being used regularly
Have spoken with x3 of the participants who are starting to see real value in what they have been creating - PebblePad has been a really useful system of use, interestingly the units have been used more of a communication and diary device rather than to create artefacts of learning (in the main) - I anticipated more use of photos, video, audio - some participants have tried to video presentations which is good.
Operational issues with the PDA seem few and far between which is good to see.
I am going to host a webfolio training day in March with participants as I think it is time for participants to start organising artefacts.
The next thing to do is to organise the showcase event with a local employer to judge the webfolio competition.
Really pleased with some of the content populated on PebblePad - frustratingly some blogs have still not been created - let alone updated. However, a core set of about 4 students who are really engaged and doing everything that is asked of them.
