This mornings PAL session went well I think. We spent the hour going through blogs with them. Some people didn't have accounts, some people had accounts but hadn't done anything with them, and some people were all up together and had active blogs.
By the end of the session everyone had a blog and had designed a nice header for their blog - something personal to them as a designer. It worked well because even the people that already had blogs had a few questions about how to add certain things or change fonts etc.
We provided them with a print out of step by step instructions to add a header to the top of their blog.
As far as next weeks session goes, they didn't have anything in particular that they wanted to go through. We told them to email us over the next week if anything does come up. In our meeting with Kit afterwards she advised that they may want to go through some time management methods - as they may not have been told yet, but the deadline for their hand in of Text and Image is on the 18th November - which by the time the next session comes around, will only be 2 weeks away. We are going to over-plan for next week so we have a few things up our sleeves to do just in case. The week we showed them our work, we got through everything a lot quicker than we had anticipated, so this has made us realise over-planning is the key!!
We have a wicked PAL group though, they are really interested in the course and they have lots of questions which is good as it means we can have discussions as well as do what we have planned - this is a definite plus because all the while they are asking questions it means they are getting what they want out of the sessions! So, its all good! We hope they would tell us if there was something else they wanted to do that would benefit them more!
