Hmmm , I think I prob had a fairly advanced understanding already.

Begin by making ‘What happened’ notes, using the following questions to help you.

What did you do this week that had a bearing on your understanding of TEL? Include any salient feelings, thoughts, events or features.

• Watched the Nelson video. He was both optimistic and wanting to rein in over-enthusiasm about the potential of technology.
  

Did your understanding of TEL change or deepen, or did your week’s study reinforce your previous ideas?

• Reinforce
  

Now make ‘So what?’ notes, using these questions to help you.

•     Which were the important moments that changed, deepened or reinforced your understanding?
  • Chatting with fellow students
•     Why did they have this effect?
  • Made me think through my ideas and theirs. Their ideas helped inform and writing mine out helped clarify my thinking.
•     What made them so important?
  • Well, they weren't that important
