Task 2a: Reflective Practitioner

This part of the course is where we are asked to keep a journal, to reflect on our practices, but in a more private manner. I will admit, this is the first time I have ever kept a journal, and I struggled with it to begin with. I didn't know where to start!
Then I realised, writing a journal, is like writing a diary, but you talk about a specific subject, in this case for me; dance. I have now been writing in my journal for the past couple of weeks, and will continue to do so, so that I can get as many entries to reflect on and look back at.
I have said in a previous blog, that I am on-the-go quite a lot, so to help me make sure I don't miss anything that I would like to put in my journal, I have also got an app which is an online journal, and I am finding that very useful, so that when I get home of an evening I am already with all my information for my entry when I sit down and write.

As I am still finding my feet with journal writing, I am constantly researching and looking at different ways to write. This I will continue to do, and I really want to focus on in depth reflections of each day to progress.

Task 3c: Sources Of Information

The next task is focused on where we get our information from. As I have been looking through others blogs I have noticed that everyone uses a variety of sources to find the information they need. In this blog I will be telling you my sources of information and how helpful I find them to help me progress in my career. When I first looked up sources of information I found that most can be put into 3 categories: Primary Information Secondary Information Tertiary Information These are quite self explanitory but I will break them down for you. A Primary source is firsthand information about an event, for example our journals that we have all been writing. They are sources which have not been edited by a second party yet. Therefore a Secondary source is an analysation of a primary source, these include reviews, text books and even most of our blogs would be a secondary source as we analyse various pieces of information. Tertiary sources are often used to gain fact...

Summertime... I just sit back and un...Do lots of research!

So as I haven't posted since handing in my final Module 2 bits and bobs, I thought it was about time I updated you guys as to what I've been doing on here. Firstly, as i had a pretty hectic year I decided to give myself a break for a couple of weeks. Just to relax and set my brain back to 0 once more. More recently I have been reading and writing lots and lots of notes down ready for the next and final module. I am currently going through a few different books based on community dance, but if anyone has any recommendations that would be fab! I have spoken to a few of my colleagues as well and they are all rummaging through their book shelves for me too which is lovely! I am thoroughly enjoying this and learning so many new things ready for me to put into practice when September starts and the new terms begin. I'll keep you updated with ideas and my tryouts to see what works and what doesn't (hoping they all do!) Anyways tha...

Skype Chat - Last Week

After a frustrating week of being unable to access my blogspot (amongst other things) I am now back! So last week, I had a Module 3 skype chat with Helen, Gonzalo, Hannah, Alisha and Eleanor. This was very helpful, as we got to talk with one another and see where we were and where we were heading. I'll be honest, it was quite quiet at times, as I find it's hard to have a conversation with people you can't actually see! But with Helens help and a little probing, once we got onto a conversation, it really started to flow. It was very useful hearing about others techniques when it comes to their tools for the inquiry. I think most, if not all of us are doing interviews, and with the fact that I have recently had to edit my inquiry's purpose (for the better) it was great to hear how others have been doing! A lot of their points I have written down, including the most important point which is not to ask them a closed question. With my inquiry I want and...
