Induction Week 13.9.19

This is my first blog being a Module three student. I begin to stress on how lost I feel right now in my studies, but with the induction Skype blog last week I felt a lot more at ease. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, I was only on the Skype call for 30 mins which is half of the session but thank you to my class friend Marianella I was able to catch up via the recording I was sent.

The induction was very helpful as it allowed the MAPP dance community to come together and share ideas with new students on module 1 up to present students in module 3. Adesola guided us through the importance of communication with our peers and class friends through Skype sessions and blogs and also the importance of UniHub. Adesola helpfully shared her screen and lead us through UniHub where we could find our module handbooks and other important information regarding the course e.g library resources and class timetables and calendars.

One thing i can honestly say i feel like i am slacking on is keeping up to date with blogging. There's so much going on at work and in my personal life a side of studying and reading literature that sometimes i forget. This is something I will try to improve this term as I know the importance of blogging and being involved in the Skype sessions. It is important to share your ideas and hear others opinions. COMMUNICATION IS KEY

i am really excited to continue with my studies and I look forward to start module three.
would like to wish all my class mates the best of luck ..... keep blogging ... reading and writing :)

how is the literature I am reading helping and supporting my writing

Tonight’s Skype session 4th November 8pm (London time) with my class mates involved “embodiment” and different ways of learning.  Personally I feel like my writing process so far has been difficult; as discussed I express myself through dance and as a performer and dancer I feel reflective writing is a difficult process. I feel by reading several literatures it helps me discover my own experiences and understand my own knowledge.  ‘Art as Experience’ by John Dewey gives different understandings of having an experience and I feel when I read someone else’s questions and answers I am able to then reflect and write on my own knowledge and experience.  By listening to someone’s point of view it helps me remember and understand my own work. Literature I have read has provided different expects and connections on knowledge and different approaches which also helps with my own reflective writing. David Kolbs learning cycle has helped me understand my own teaching and learning st...
