Dear Fellow Readers and CSU TL Students
Well I could have blogged a million more times than this but I find I reflect best on my learning when going to sleep and I am not about to jump out of bed and write my experiences then. My learning journey is having ups and downs. Like some others my mark for the 401 first assignment was not that good, but I really appreciated the markers comments and these have really helped with some more reflecting. It gives rise to the importance of divergent input and how valuable this is to practice. Sometimes you cannot see the forest for the trees.
So my head is meshing the two tasks from subject 401 and 501 and they are inter-related to a point. Quetions that keep me pondering is how much is enough information for kids in primary school. Do they really need 15 resources. I remember my projects were based on the World Book Encyclopedia and another resource. There used to be school project guides from news agencies and you use the information (rewrite it in your own words-ha! ha! Ha!) and use the pictures as well. The whole thing could be cut up as it was an inexpensive resource. Those were the days my friends. Well now we have the Internet and I am not so sure that all that information is a good thing.
TL work is much more complex and demanding than I ever imagined and synthesing the readings and trying to analysising the purpose fof assignments is causing a lot of brain strain.
Well back to dinner, reading, reflecting
I am really looking forward to reading Franzens Freedom. Did anyone else read the Corrections. Just got to finish the assignments first.
Calling all muses to help me make the connections and join the dots
Cheers
