Reflection and critical evaluation
This is not looking too good. I’ve prepared this course to be about manipulating digital images. This group – to a woman – want to find out about their cameras and how to use them. One member of the group was very confident and a little too noisy for some people. This caused a bit of negativity from some people.

I will have to completely rewrite this course to fit the group!
I abandoned the initial eval for this reason as it seemed irrelevant.

The group seemed a lot happier with the new plan and the feeling at the end of this session was a lot more positive. I’ll do a first eval next lesson – though it seems a bit late!
Observed next week it seems. That should be fun. It seems that I got a 3 for my iPad course last Autumn. Nice to find out 8 months later.
Noisy individual a lot quieter this week. Still a bit too loud though and overconfident.

Everybody managed to find the feedback from their own cameras. Denise camera would not do histograms, but she was able to see the exif data.
Histograms were hard for most people and a lot of people got the wrong idea to start with (most notable Jeff) Most were getting there by the end, though the plenary proved very useful, there are still a lot of students who have not quite got this difficult concept.

Some card readers were very reluctant to work with the Windows 8 computers in the room. This made it hard for some learners to access their photos from their camera. I need to get better ones so that they will actually work.

This was a pleasing session. They enjoyed looking at the pictures and considering what it was that might make them hard to take. They felt that this was useful.
New card readers were a lot better. Though still a few problems. They are working very well in groups. It is interesting to see different partnerships forming. Also good to see that several (Jane, John particularly) are starting to experiment for themselves.
