Last tutorial, Jenni placed us into groups (of our choice) of around four to complete the last assignment for EDN113. Assignment 3a is a 'Teacher Project' where as a group we will be choosing a topic and designing an authentic education resource for students. We need to be able to explain and teach other student teachers so they may want to use our resource in their teaching career and vice versa.

In my group I have Dani, Amy and Leah from my tutorial class. They seem like passionate, energised learners wanting to achieve at a similar level to me. Within the tutorial we discussed, brainstormed ideas and concepts we were interested in. By the time the tutorial was over we had a great foundation idea and have been running with it ever since. We discussed our idea with Jenni and she said that she had heard of it before. With much consideration, we tweaked and changed some things to make it more original and engaging.

The night of the tutorial class, I exchanged all the other ladies details via email (as I already had everyone’s email addresses) as I had got their permission that afternoon. Our personal email addresses will be our main form of contact to discuss any assignment communication and queries. This was the best form of contact as we are all extremely busy women.

We have already been emailing reguarly, bouncing ideas off each other to get a clear understanding. After the contact email, Amy sent through the 'brainstorming sheet' that Jenni had created and also some information also about the Australian Curriculum Syllabus. I have been onto the Syllabus today and identified which age level we are targeting for our topic Health - Nutrition. I have emailed the others with other suggestions today also.

Leah and Dani have sent through a list of ideas we had been talking about and had narrowed it down to a clear and precise list. It has really surprised me how we have already agreed on the topic and educational resource. I feel confident with these girls. What a great start to assignment 3! :-D
