Week 2

Using MS Publisher:

First select 'Brochure' as this is the task that we are wanting to complete today.

The task is to create a holiday brochure. This is an easy task for me as I have always wanted to go to Egypt to marvel in the ancient architecture.

(Remember to allow at least 2 weeks for the children to complete this task as they should not spend too long in front of a computer.)

I was having some trouble using the program at first, however once you get the hang of it, it is simple to use. I found that when adding text to the brochure, the background remained white. After deliberations I realised that the text box was not necessary.

For the purpose of this task we made a brochure however it can have other benificial uses. If the students dont want to make a brochure on a travel destination, they can create a procudural text on something that is of interest to them.

I used the print screen function that we used last week in order to place my brochure into my blog.

Interview tips:

Being given tips on what to do and what not to do when applying for jobs was very helpful. Thanks Greg :) Even though some of the ideas were absured, they can be made!! There was alot however that I did not realise such as being given the quesitons that the panel will ask you. Write like mad and dont panic. During the interview take a breath and look down at my notes. Thats why they have given it to me.

Handy tip: once asked the quesiton, take a breath and start off slowly. If you then think you are rambling, ask if i have sufficiently as the quesiton. There is no harm in doing so. Also if you feel that you failed to mention a key point to a quesiton, at the end when they ask if there is anything to add, SAY IT! A little insight goes a long way and something I am going to need.

E-portfolio:

it is very important to have an E-portfolio as it will be a part of my interview and application process. it is a good idea to take photos of students and/or students work to demonstrate how my lessons reflect in the students work through their creativity and design.

Ensure when in the interview process, always leave your e-portfolio as although the may not have time to look at in on the spot, they will look at it and it will be the difference of getting or missing out on the job oopportunity.

Creating an E-portfolio on publisher:

This process is simple as publisher is easy to use. The hard part is entering the right information to show my skills and attributes for the interview panel.

This is just a sample of an E-portfolio that needs to be perfected :)
