Campus Session 1: Considering ‘reflective practice as a catalyst for change’

Suggestions from the session !
try writing a memoir - start writing for 5 minutes and don't stop - write about one of your experiences from the past or present... then look at the writing and pick out some of the key words to look up after this (maybe some concept words) or more subject specific words that you need to define using 'literature'.

 

Please check out what others have said about the session and make comments:

Final all module campus session 1 13.10.15 from Paula Nottingham

Then try a 'head start' this is drawing a head - your head or an alter ego - and just putting what you are thinking about for the moment - to capture this- then you can extend some of the thinking if you want to - often ideas or concept are a part of the thinking that emerges - let you automatic unconscious help - that is - don't try to manufacture ideas jut let them flow...
My 'alter ego' (Irini's phrase)  head with my thoughts during the workshop.
Please comment if you have any helpful suggestions for reflective practice or a story to tell!

Listening and doing

My take on the 2nd week meetings hosted by Adesola was the importance of listening to others and or then taking that discussion into actions.

Listening takes time - I remember long ago taking a course for giving careers advice - and one of the important lesson from that was not to fear silence! let others speak - you don't have to fill the space continually with your voice (not sure I am that good at that - and coming from the US means talking/revealing is a cultural trait that i need to consider in Europe). Silence allows others to speak.

Action - sometimes - with all the best intentions (like this blog) we get delayed into doing things - usually because we are busy but also the arts proclivities for procrastination and perfectionism!! Writing down an action plan - I have a things to do list - means that the conversation/discussion leads to actions that are useful - so sharing and then taking some of the ideas and doing something about them in your own way - even if it is writing a blog about it!
