Week 6: 24th March 2009
Many thanks to all those who have completed the first draft of your SDI Proposal - very interesting projects!
Please meet with Heather if you have not done so yet - or if you need help doing your proposal.
Heather's office is near the main office - on the left before you go down the stairs.
her email is heather.banks@academy.tas.edu.au
Reminders:
Otherwise continue your project work :-)
Next Week - class presentation and workshop.
Week 5: 17th March 2009
This week it is really important that you meet with me [Heather] to have a discussion about your project and that you complete your SDI project outline. I can be found in the office near the main office where the student phone is. Some of you may have discussed your project with Roger which is excellent but I would like to know what you are doing as well as I am interested in your topic areas.
Drop in please. If I don't hear from you I will ring home as we have had a gentle introduction and it is now time for follow up to ensure you meet your outcomes this year. It is parent information evening on the 26th March so hopefully we will meet your parents and this Monday it is an Assembly for the Academy. Also if you are doing gaming or animation it would be very beneficial if you attend the Bond Uni workshop on Tuesday 24th in the Art Theory Room. It is a really good session and you will learn a lot. I will let you teacher know if you want to go just tell me. Please visit the moodle as well and start your blog. Heather and Roger Week 4: 10th March 2009
UPDATE 12th March: Thursday's presentation slides and audio are now uploaded to Moodle
Tuesday 10th March - No class (Moderation Day)
Thursday 12th March - 12:10-12:50 in A349 (near Student services) - Please bring your lunch :-)
Help will be available afterwards.
Check Moodle for this week's tasks and last week's assessment.

Week 3: 3rd March 2009
Thanks to everyone who have completed last week's tasks. We need to meet as a whole class for the next two weeks. Because everyone can't come during class time we are going to meet
We will be available after both these sessions to help individuals or groups complete essential tasks. Please let us know if you can't make it to these sessions - email or SMS Heather or Roger. The rest of your 3.5hrs each week for this class you can work individually or as a team... BUT please make sure you post to Twitter and check the SDI class on Moodle - or you will be marked ABSENT. Update 25th Feb - All the slides, audio, video and handouts from yesterday's class are now online - most are in the class Moodle but you can also see some links on Roger's SDI Class Journal.
Week 2: 24th February 2009
There will be two class meetings this week - the second one is for those who are unable to attend the first.
You need to attend either Tuesday 1:00 or Thursday 12:30 - we meet in A231 above the Canteen

Welcome to SDI at the Hobart Campus of the Tasmanian Polytechnic and Tasmanian Academy.
And congratulations on choosing one of the best courses we offer!
Last year's students achieved very high awards - over one third of the class obtained an 'Exceptional Achievement'.
Your facilitators this year are Heather Banks and Roger Stack. We will also use a number of mentors as required.
The class will meet once a week in Room A231 and online. The rest of the time you may work where and when it suits you best.
Your First SDI Class: The course details you receive on the first day has an error. We will meet initially on Tuesday 17th Feb at lunch time in Room A231 which is just above the canteen. At this meeting we will decide the best time to meet each week.
We look forward to seeing you and helping you to start thinking about this year's projects :-)
Heather & Roger
PS If you are on Facebook the Tasmanian Academy and Tasmanian Polytechnic have new groups you can join. Pictures from today are on both groups.
