Reflections on reflectioning

Reflecting on my first Skype discussion on this course. With new people like myself and module 2 & 3 students on this Professional practice course. It has come to light that reflecting is a key to being professional.

Reflecting is looking back. Looking back at yourself and seeing what you have done. What you have become. When looking back you can see your journey. And how you do things and why. Looking at things from different angles and how you use different things.

Self anlysis can be a tricky thing. Sometimes we only see in the mirror things we are use to seeing. So on this course I will be reflecting on my practice. How I do it. Why I do it and what things I use to do it. Like Web 2.0, books, networking, curriculum and other people.

This shoukd help me to get a better grasp if myself. With no wrong answers but more deeper questions. As I look to become more profession teaching and being and illustrator/graphic designer.

    Hi Lee, this blog summarises exactly where I am, and highlights how no matter what our practice may be we are all on a similar journey, however different our out comes may be.

Real Research

How real is our research? Do we already know what information we are looking for already exists? Is our search unbiased? Do we get answers form our research  for what we want to find? I tend to think I'm a pro a google searches and can find anything I'm looking for. But is that because I know it is already out there? Have you ever found any information, ideas or anything which you was not looking for? But was very useful to you? I have. But i would not call it research, as I did not re-look for the information i found. This was me finding it for the first time, somewhat unexpectedly. I "randomly" came across an interesting art style i saw not familiar with. But was really impressed with and wanted to replicate parts of it into my own work. I "researched" this art style on Deviant Art, and online art sharing and forum platform. I used their search filter. Looking for illustration work. Scrolling through many pages and having it standout and catch my eye w...

Title Tells Training. But Practice Proves Perfection

Be for yesterday's enjoyable Skype call, A was reading A Handbook on Reflections and Experiential Learning, by Jennifer Moon. I was thinking about my previous learning experiences and how I reflect on how that effects my teaching. Like teachers who never let you have hands on experience at something new the first lesson. But make you wait till 2 or 3 lessons in. I hated that. Hence I never do that. The topic in the 5pm Skype call was on similar ideas. A key point that stood out for us was the term discourse. -  Discourse or basically said a conversation with in our field which only we really understand as it focuses in on its finer details and concerns to help make our practice work better for us. Beyond our training. Many of us shared what fields we are trained in. But our training does not necessarily define what actual practice we are in now. It was expressed that training helps give a broad title to what we do or have learnt. But our practice is a focus of key routines whic...
