Tonight we had our returning orientation.
We talked about the importance of knowing ‘the obvious’:
- When hand-in date is
- What you need to hand-in
- Making sure you are aware of different ways to exchange ideas and share learning (ie know the dates of campus and on line sessions, join the First Tuesday group Skype chats we have every month, &/or start a Special Interest Groups (SIGs) with other people interested in what you are doing, and get back into blogging!
We also talked about getting started by questioning your
assumptions and allowing yourself to look beyond your comfort zone. Getting
back into study is also about getting back into being comfortable not knowing
(yet), having questions and trust you can be confused at times but you are on a
journey. The ways to exchange listed above and your Advisors are all there to
keep you from getting lost even when you are in a fog of confusion every now
and then.
Asking what people got out of the conversation-
Lianne said ‘Don’t just stick to thinking about what you
already know. I already knew about my own practice and I want to look beyond
that’ …to see different perspectives on my inquiry question. She is posting
about the conversation on her blog
Lisa A. talked about the feeling of being confused and the
importance of looking at your feedback from your last Module as a way to start
back at things. She is posting on the conversation too.
Lisa M. said ‘it is good to hear other people talking from
other modules’… somethings start to make sense as you move forward in your own
module. She will be posting on her blog too.
We have another returning orientation tomorrow Saturday
September 26th in the morning
at 11am.
What do you think? How are you getting ready to start back?
