Log Book Wilson 8Mt cont...

6-9-10:
Monday sees us with about half the group absent, Jiaming and Jimmy arrived very late 10:30 and 9:00 respectively. This has prompted me to have Edwin take over the responsibilities of the screen area with Jaiming as attendance. Jimmy fortunately was covered with Fish able to keep the flow working on the C/pit Sole area.
Fwd in the Hull Abby, Alistair,are working on the final fwd bunk top and Shawn id setting up the Sole in the head area.
Ray and Jeff are doing a fine job with the cabin edge core insert treatments. I have temporarily taken Jake off the cabin top core inserts for the hatches etc... as Mark needs some help with general mould tidy up. We need to seal the mould after getting fwd elliptical window positions right.
Havn't seen Spud, Scott, Adam. or Scott2 yet.
Spud and Han (having developed gentlemens hours) arrived at lunch time. mmmm, not impressed.
Liam, both Scott's and Adam are no shows and havn't contacted any one.

Our new concept of each student developing some new knowledge and 'drilling down' for deeper meaning is developing ok. The Trade Terms collaborative presentation doc I'm delivering to the team on Wednesday should support this initiative.
Most students remembered to studey atopic of interest and were able to discuss to some depth.
I think this searching / researching may be the sort of thing students can then post in their Boat Construction Blog to share with followers etc...

On Wednesday I'm also looking at presenting the students with a survey I'd like them to take online. (Set out in a Google Form doc) It is designed to give students a voice in the Living Curriculum debate and direction planning suitable for CAT Boatbuilding students/tutor interactions etc...

Camera needs reconfiguring and an online space in the cloud needs to be developed for easy access for all students. The Student 'H' drive always runs short of memory. (Very frustrating) Hence the lack of phot-video on this blog at present. (NOTE TO SELF:Must get sorted soon.)

  1. I like the look of our Trade Terms assignment. That must have taken a while to compile, or was the template easy to manage. Btw - The Kinks - Arthur is a great record.
