Analysis

More reading…. The making of a physical model to represent thoughts, feelings and understanding is summed up by Miller (2008) cited in Eaves (2014, p. 149) when he considered the benefits of creating a visual representation to ‘increase voice and reflexivity, and expand the possibilities of multiple, diverse realities and understandings’.

8th nov tutorial

A fews weeks ago my class had group presentations and seeing how uncomfortable many of them were whilst presenting and considering how personal the feelings surrounding Imposter syndrome are – I now feel that I may need to find a different way of getting them to explain their drawings that involves less anxiety for them.… Continue reading 8th nov tutorial

Back on the rails

I’ve had a bit of a wobble with the whole project, but now I think I’m back on track.

I realised that throughout my time at university as a young adult I experienced Imposter Syndrome without any awareness… Continue reading Working out my research question

Side note

The drawings and using the post it notes to reveal the information makes the video feel interactive and as though she is talking directly to you even though the session is asynchronous.… Continue reading Side note

TEL: The first session

VIsitor and Resident mappingI prefered David S. White and Alison Le Cornu’s typology for online engagement of digital visitors and residents compared to Prensky’s outdated natives and immigrants. It feels more fluid and adaptive and much more inclusive as it categorises users based on their motivation to engage. I really enjoyed Peter’s activity session on… Continue reading TEL: The first session
