=Rani's fellowship = =Minutes of our meetings = **__31 May__**  Mary was unable to attend.  So Rani and I went into the computer room and tried to access Tafevc to no avail. But we didn't waste time, we decided to start a wiki and we would try different things over the course of the fellowship.

 **__1 June 2010__**  After speaking to Mary she suggested we use the wiki as our record of our meetings.  This way we could trial the new form of communication and learn first hand what our students would need to do.

 **__3 June__**  I have begun to journal the fellowship journey.  The next time I see Rani, I will give the project to her to complete. She can invite us onto her wiki and manage it for the life of the project.

-The first thing to do is Rani has to invite Mary and Ken to the Wiki -Our application has been successful for having an e-mentoring and the person responsible for that is Lynne Gibb -We had a chat about ways to up skill our tutors- creative use of computers in the class room - Possibilities of accessing web quest for VCAL students on grammar, spelling etc and swapping the teachers to get maximum out put. - By making maximum utilization of the e- mentoring and also new ideas from Lynne Gibb, we had a talk about setting up programs for class room activities, set up training sessions for teachers on the use of wikis, blogs, photo story etc. - How to give students more independence - How to give teachers more confidence and awareness of using online things effectively
