The above proves two things: 1) My notes on embedding videos still work on day four. 2) My science classes are in for a geeky time.

**Course Date: 10/9/10** Managed to follow the instructions given yesterday to insert information into the wiki and to create the visual ranking task positioned just above this entry.

Today's modules neatly led to the start of unit development. Have now got the outlines of a unit plan in place. Module Four's examples of assessment were quite helpful in structuring the unit.

**Course Date: 13/9/10** Development of the unit of work progresses apace.

Etherpad looks to be a useful tool for teched up classes to share ideas on a central monitor.

**Course Date: 14/9/10** Have essentially completed the unit of work, and have two Intel tasks built into it, both completed and ready to go!

Now have three Intel tasks built into the unit of work, all constructed and working.

Looking at utilising the Intel tools within my classes has been an interesting task, and I've been able to come up with some different approaches to topic delivery in order to enable students to think a bit more 'big picture' about the concepts than they would normally. It's also helped to reinforce different methods of keeping the learning focussed on the students, rather than the teacher.
