Ready, Steady, Go!

Visible to anyone in the world

Our journey has started!

Now that we know who we are with in this journey and we have welcomed each other, we are ready to go. 

I am glad to be able to have access to the Forums where we can learn from each other and reflect on our learning. We need to remind ourselves that is not only about WHAT we are learning but HOW we are learning. 

Writing a journal to reflect on our learning is not an easy task, it is something that needs encouragement and some resilience, however it carries many learning benefits: facilitates engagement, helps monitoring progress, it is a good tool for later follow up or it can be used as a study diary, brings consistency and reinforce learning etc., but specially it adds to ownership of learning...

Hi Maria, Look forward to seeing how the journey goes! I like your picture of the different technologies. I will also use pen and paper more this year as I've experienced how the brain thinks at a different speed when hand writing.
