I finally opened my Applaud application. I've deleted my entire V4 section. I've highlighted all the useful parts of my A1 section - the OU advises to separate our primary evidence (my reflective essay) into sections A1-A5 and then include the parts relevant to V1-V5 and K1-5 as they arise. I'm going to include my new V4 in the A1 section, but the whole A1 section needs tightening up. Apparently it doesn't drill down deeply enough into the mechanics of what I actually do. After taking out my old V4 section I have 2684 words out of possible 3300 words, so 616 words to play with.
My plan for this afternoon is to go back and re-read a book I bought when I first started at the OU called Teaching at University: A Guide for Postgraduates and Researchers by Kate Morss and Rowena Murray. And read for the first time, a book called Physicists Look Book: Studies in the History of Physics edited by John Roche, which I picked up in a local secondhand bookshop and spotted had at least chapter on the role of the history of physics in teaching (which I do all the time, but have never considered the pedagogical value in much depth - beyond being able to say, see some physicists are not male, and not white, and not able-bodied).
