Helpful Things...

Hello again,

 Aren't you lucky, my 3rd blog in a few days! 

 Well, this is a quick simple one for those of you on the BAPP arts course (also for those who aren't!) but I have found a few helpful things that I thought I would share with you all. 

 The first,we have reached part 2 of our course which as you will know is all about reflective writing. We have all been asked to keep a journal. However if you are anything like me, life can seem to get very busy so finding the time to write in your journal can be a bit difficult. Especially as I have to carry a lot around with me most of the time so adding an extra book equals even more weight! Therefore I have found a easy, free online site which you can keep journals on, and there is even an app for your phone. I am using this for my 'on-the-go' journal as it is quick and easy and then writing up my proper journal of an evening to make sure I don't miss anything! 
The site/app is called Penzu, the link is here:
https://penzu.com/


The second, is a book: 

Now I have only just started skim reading through this book, but it has been so helpful already! It has a whole section on 'The reflective journal', i.e. what we are looking at now, plus so many other things. I would definitely recommend this, even if you just borrow it from the library, as a reference it is great! 

The last one for now is another website. When discussing the next part of the BAPP arts course with Paula on skype, she mentioned 'Lifelong learning'. Now I hadn't heard this phrase before but it definitely intrigued me, so I thought I would look into it. I found this great website which has lots on the subject, but also a lot of other links to pages on learning as a whole, how we learn etc. Definitely worth going through and helping you discover ways of learning and how to implement them in your work. Here is the link:

Please help yourselves to the links, and try to get hold of the book, it's really helping me, so maybe it could help you!

Hope your all doing well on the course, from what I can see on the blogs you are all doing fantastic! 

Chow for now!

Another day - another qualification

So Tuesday was a very interesting and exciting day.  I went to London to train and gain!  With a colleague of mine, we went together to get our circle dance in  dementia training.  We both already work with dementia participants in the care homes we go to for dance classes so we know most of the benefits this has on people.  For those of you who don't know what circle dance in dementia is. Here is a link to look at: http://dementiapathfinders.org/circle-dance-in-dementia.html It was such a fantastic day. There was a huge variety of people there, from dancers, to care workers to administrators and people from the alzheimer's society too! We really bonded well as a group. So much so, that we now have a facebook page to share our experiences/ ideas etc so we can all keep in contact.  Circle dance is highly beneficial to those with dementia, and it is also a class which can be altered and developed depending on who you have come to your classes. This is my opinion

Campus Session October 2017

I went along to my first campus session since I've been on the BAPP Arts course the other week.  I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it and I found it extremely helpful! I did much prefer the face to face interaction, it made it a lot easier to progress through conversation and having everyones input and ideas made it a lot easier for me to understand where I need to head with my inquiry.  Although I was the only Module 3 there, I found that listening to the other modules really opened my eyes. I admit I had just left the past 2 modules 'on the side' and after the session I realised that I needed to go back through, see what I have already done and create more links from there.  The modules aren't just 1, 2 and 3. They are all linked and this is something really important that I realised when having everyone there. So thank you all for that!   We also talked about the HUGE subject that is, ethics. It's a concept that I know I understand but I have always found i
