This is collection of photo's taken at the cook off for selection for our Toque D'Or team. I've added comments to each of the dishes presented, but the students found them hard to view. So I need to continue to work on that. With is programme you can also add up to 30 seconds of audio. I will be using this system again, particularly for assessment feedback to the students as at present the majority of the feedback is verbal.

Cookery students learner profile

I've attached a link to a mind map of a learners profile of my cookery students.
I'm interested in any comments about the profile, anything I may have not included, and how it compares to your learner profile.

My first cartoon

I have attached a link to my first attempt at mmaking a cartoon.

The whole process took less than 5 minutes and produces a good end product.
Let me know what you think

Easy to make cartoons

Thanks to leigh for this site: http://www.dfilm.com/new_site/movie_2.0.html
It's an easy to use make your own cartoon creator. Leigh did give me ten sites to try and I found this one the easiest to use, but i will keep on playing with the other one.
As I'm still in the learning process with blogs i will try to make a link to my first cartoon, when i get to work tomorrow.
I see its uses being part of on-line learning modules, particularly for asking questions or providing answers and braking up PowerPoint presentation. there are probably many different ways of using this programme, please let me know if you have any ideas.

Introduction

Hi I'm Tony Heptinstall.
I teach final year cookery students at Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin, New Zealand.

I have lived and working in Dunedin for 11 years and have spent 9 years teaching at the Polytechnic. I previously lived in central London were I managed kitchens for contract catering firms and charities.

There are two main aims for this blog. Firstly, I am enrolled in a flexible learning course at Otago Polytechnic, http://groups.google.com/group/flexiblelearningpractice and I need to produce a learning log as I develop a part of my course for online/blended delivery.

Secondly I want to use this resource as a development tool for my course and explore the use of online multimedia in teaching cookery, which is traditional a very hand subject.
