The end of a new beginning: Where to start...

Well, I said it never really ends, so this is me starting at the beginning again. 

But this time a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit freer, a little bit clearer... 

Or whatever thought-provoking cliche you think would fit in there.

Reflections on Topic 3: Personalised learning

In this reflection, I will be using my breakdown of the 7 "Implications for Practice" as discussed in "Creating Effective Collaborative Learning Groups in an Online Environment" by Jane E. Brindley, Christine Walti, and Lisa M. Blaschke (2009) for a practical exercise for my students.  But first, a little bit of context about how "The Walk" came to be. As one could have guessed by now, I coach acting for film, and one thing that is obviously necessary for this field is believability. Something I noticed right at the beginning of teaching this subject, which one would assume is easy as stepping in front of a camera but far from, was that students lacked believability.  No matter how much I taught and shared and explained and showed, there was just this disconnection between them and the text, they just sounded wooden. I wondered if it had been maybe the setting of the class, and the context of it being an assessment, so as an experiment I decided to take th...

Reflection on Topic 1: Online participation and digital literacies

 1. W ho are you as an individual in the digital age, and what characterizes your journey so far? Online I have been/can be many people. I have run multiple social media pages for companies across platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. This included designing posters and creating content videos to even filming live events.

It was always a part of life, but never with such importance to the extent, it is now. Now I work online, play online and learn online. I have watched Google searches go from "we can't find anything on this random topic after years of searching" to "here are two million articles on this in 0.000005seconds".

I should write something (Week 1 Getting Started)

It has been a busy month since I wrote my first blogs. It feels like only a week or two ago that I typed out those pages. And how much as changed since then. It appears the world is moving rate of several wow's an hour. It feels like it hasn't stopped. And it isn't slowing down. Who knows, next week the world could be even more different again. Everyday is something changing. Every where we look we see uncertainty, in the world, in politics, in others, in ourselves. And we have become so accustomed to fending for our own we kind forget that there are other people around. Forever preparing for the inevitable uncertainty. But we are raised in an era of instant gratification, and because we can't have our uncertainty delivered from us with understandable knowing in a moments notice, we feel anxious. So we cling to any remnants of our self and memory and repeat it over and over to try reinforce its affirming belief that it is real. But what is real? Especially now in a post...
