October 5th PM chat

PM skype chat: Sunday afternoon (5:30 in London) we had our PM skype chat. We were a conversation of eight. We talked about a few points that people brought to the meeting to discuss.

We talked about:

What role the reflective journals play in the modules and the place for reflection in your study in general. For more on the conversation visit Tamzin http://tamzinhoward.blogspot.co.uk  , Suzanne www.zsurcy.wordpress.com  ,and Amanda http://amandatooms-peel.blogspot.co.uk  who are writing posts on Reflection.

What questions are. How we deal with them developing in Module three and across the modules how questions do not have to be linked to answers but are more about learning more and stimulating thinking. Rose http://rosepaye3012.blogspot.co.uk   & Mary http://www.marymapp.blogspot.co.uk

We talked about all the communication tools from practical questions about joining the Linked –in group to apprehensions in posting blogs to looking at the differences and strengths of all the communication tools used on the course. Anthony (hold tight we will put his address in the comments below)  will be writing about this in his post.

Also we talked about a reflective journal app Penzu.

And pointed out if you are having problems with Unihub or need tech support with MDX on-line access etc… to contact Aimee Tallon a.tallon@mdx.ac.uk

Great conversations today lets keep thinking and talking.

I ended the day with a phrase about the courage to jump in and enter a conversation or try to write something or just generally allow yourself to be at the edges of what you feel you ‘know’ – to research.

We have to have the humility to love our imperfect selves.
