knowing and learning MAPP Skype session

On Sunday 29th September I had my second group Skype meeting with my class friends and lecturers.  
This Skype call was focused on learning and knowing. 
I believe to learn is to already acknowledge my own prior experience. It was very interesting to hear other people’s thoughts and opinions on the importance of learning and their own learning cycle. 

I feel like I learn by doing, to do is to learn (being active in the moment). This is something I have touched on whilst blogging on David Kolbs learning cycle throughout module 1 and 2 which he calls “a concrete experience”. By reflecting on experiences is learning. In my everyday life as a professional and as a student I feel like there are many ways I am learning. I learn a lot about myself by approaching certain experiences in life whether it’s within an educational setting or outside of studies. 
We talked a lot of the process of learning and what we think knowing and learning is. 
For me, you learn whilst teaching dance you learn a lot about your students, yourself and your professional practice. To learn is to be able to know how to approach your students with what works for them or what doesn’t work for them. To Learn and acknowledge your learning is also to be critical.

We learn to change or develop our teaching methods for different ages and abilities. We learn how to use our language and vocabulary. This is our own independent and personal learning curve what we learn is all depending on what we already know. This Skype session really made me reflect on my teaching experiences and my knowledge. 

YOURE LEARNING EXPERIENCE WILL NEVER STOP !! Keep knowing and keep learning :)

    Hi Tara, I truly want to keep on reading on your teaching adaptations and modifications- as a teacher I feel too this is our greatest challenge and learning curve. I can hardly wait to continue reading about your research.

    Hi Tara,
    So inspiring to read your blog post! And it is so true, we tend to think so much about our students learning, that we sometimes forget, that we are constantly learning through our practice as well. Keeping an open mind and being aware of your own learning as a teacher, I think also allows a different kind of relationship with your students. Looking forward to reading more about your research.

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 thi...

what I think knowledge means

Knowledge to me is an networked product. Knowledge to me is something you have experienced and learnt along the way of either your professional practises or day to day lifestyle. Like George Siemens I believe knowledge comes from networking and people gain more knowledge and experience through social media.

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...
