I constantly move my goal posts after reading your blogs, I admit reading only the blogs I feel are relevant to me. Your blogs are definitely captivating and intriguing as they should be. Your's is the blog style to emulate. As Stephanie says, it takes time to reflect what you've written. During Alan Durrant's last Campus Session he made a point of saying that he likes it if students wrote disagreeing about the subject. Could this be for more ammunition to challenge yourselves and us too of course? Although however, I'm feeling more withdrawn to comment these days? I would be interested in knowing the results of the survey.Corindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156509586214662437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985990633590684254.post-17045991435417406382011-11-03T17:58:48.028-04:002011-11-03T17:58:48.028-04:00Hi Adesola,

I think above all, we are all ( I know I definately am) just a little bit in awe of you. You have had such a great career, both dancing and choreographing and have now succeeded to such a high level in academics. Instead of giving my opinions or doubting your expertise, I think I act as a 'sponge' around your Blog- I take in and absorb your information but rarely give my own views.<br />But as I have been reflecting recently alot more, due to Task 2, i realised how much I learn myself by criticising other peoples views and opinions so I will actively engage in this more often.<br />Questioning each other, whether we feel they are more or less knowledgeable than ourselves is a great tool for learning. You are a perfect example, we can never stop learning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985990633590684254.post-91069774789110327852011-10-31T08:19:54.263-04:002011-10-31T08:19:54.263-04:00This is interesting in terms of Module 1 (network ...This is interesting in terms of Module 1 (network tasks) How are we part of a network?

After reading through yours and others response I began to look at my own commenting ways. Blogging, or so I thought, provides me with an outlet and others with an inlet. So your point about communication being a shared partnership leads me to think is my blog also an outlet for others? And am I communicating enough with interesting and thought provoking ideas to be entrusted with that outlet? When posting I wasn't thinking of selling my writing for a wider audience but I will be thinking about that from now on!<br /><br />Stephanie's point about pressure raised a question in who is putting that pressure on us? you? Me? Others on the course? Other advisers? As long as we are learning and digesting all the information that is out there that we can should there be any pressure to comment unless we strongly agree or disagree? I guess that would relate to Web 2.0 in it's truest form of the more we contribute and communicate, the more we grow and evolve personally, professionally and globally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985990633590684254.post-53683248281683026992011-10-30T12:02:48.504-04:002011-10-30T12:02:48.504-04:00Hi Adesola,

If ever I read a post of yours and don't comment, it is usually because of feelings relating to those points.<br /><br />I found the whole process of you altering the question fascinating though. I have never thought about how important the relatively subtle wording of a question can have such a massive impact on the data you collect!Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702877058652915002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985990633590684254.post-36277214516612946932011-10-29T07:13:28.628-04:002011-10-29T07:13:28.628-04:00Interesting comments guys, Thank You. Please don&#...Interesting comments guys, Thank You. Please don't feel pressured to comment this blog is as much an example of looking at a question as it is about the question itself. <br />That being said there are some interesting themes coming through (this is what module 3ers are looking for at the moment, themes in their responses - in their data, this is in order to analyse) <br />1) One is looking at comment as a kind of currency - interesting giving a comment, is worth something in time, in exchange in the peer group...interesting.<br />2) The power dynamics of teacher / pupil 'v' the said 'democracy' of the internet. The social structures of the physical world are not dissolved in the inter-net world ... can this be addressed... interesting again because do we default back to something that is outside the web, what impact does web 2:0 have (if any) here.<br />3) Something about communication: Here this reflects on a quote I love from Dewey (not quoted here!). But what I get out of it is communication for expression (to correct an impression say) and communication to share in a partnership of co-operation. I would see comments as part of a shared partnership of exploration of ideas but they seem to also be seen as communication of a particular idea where their value is only worthwhile when they express a particular (fixed or correct) thought.... interesting. <br /><br />Well, don't be distracted by the content of all of this too much I know you are all busy. But hopefully my process here is helping as an example, in terms of how you are looking at your own process in whatever module you are doing. <br />AdesolaAdesolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01097159672366205738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985990633590684254.post-82411682298893592532011-10-29T05:58:17.200-04:002011-10-29T05:58:17.200-04:00Done the survey Adesola!
I thought it might be he...Done the survey Adesola!<br /><br />I thought it might be helpful/interesting to offer some thoughts as to why I think you don't get more comments. I do read your posts and do sometimes comment, but admittedly not always....I hope you don't mind me being honest!<br /><br />1. I think you are definitely correct when you touched upon students feeling a certain pressure due to your position of power. It is ok to disagree or even praise a 'teacher'?<br />2. You are a deep thinker; a lot of your thoughts are based on personal reflection and have a philosophical element about them. I think this is great and really inspiring, but these discussions take time to reflect on. They are ideas you need to go away and think about, it's not always easy to just digest them and quickly write a comment.<br />3. Because you are trying to write blogs relevant to all module groups, I believe students may scan a post and assume it's not really for their group, or doesn't immediately seem appropriate for their place within the course.<br />4. There is pressure to comment on blogs and stay active - which can be difficult to balance with full time work. If students are pushed fot time and have to make a choice, I would suggest they comment on other students blogs because we all naturally want to seek approval from our peers. Perhaps students also feel like they have 'more to gain' - you are unlikely to make comments on everyone's blogs all the time, as you have too many students for that to be possible, but if someone if active within their peer group they may be rewarded by lots of return comments.<br /><br />Hope these ideas of are some use - please don't stop writing your posts as I really do get a lot out of them. I personally will try to make more effort to formulate and articulate responses (and remember that everyone appreciates feedback no matter what their position!)Stephanie Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066801919404397767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985990633590684254.post-2108523112845545612011-10-28T20:07:16.624-04:002011-10-28T20:07:16.624-04:00I managed to complete the survey!
Until recent,I ...I managed to complete the survey! <br />Until recent,I was trying to only leave 'a comment that is helpful/meaningful to the blogger'. But actually, it is up to them to decide whether my comment is helpful or not. So for the last few weeks, I tried to just selfishly comment what I thought after reading their post, without worrying what use it has. I just hope I haven't made fellow bloggers uncomfortable or unhappy by saying things I shouldn't have said...<br />Your change of question phrasing was a helpful example for my inquiry process; it generates a difference to the width of the inquiry. I wish to expand my inquiry, so asking 'what are the reasons...' instead of 'why' will direct me to investigate my data collection and analysis in a constructive way.Minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706595413698058169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8985990633590684254.post-71361382077379600342011-10-28T17:24:18.541-04:002011-10-28T17:24:18.541-04:00Hey there Adesola!
