MODULE 3 HAS ARRIVED!

& I am finding it hard to find quiet time to do the necessary reading... I had thought the books necessary but half way through the second a debate started on FC as to whether online resources would suffice and I began to question how necessary...

As discussion unfolded and I turned it over in my mind, I came to the conclusion, which was also given by an LF today, that yes online resources do suffice... they will do... given time constraints they're perhaps the way to go... however, to go that little bit extra (?first class territory), the books come into play.

I had a great light bulb moment today - it even cleared thoughts on several Plone postings I and others had made earlier today. 3 of us had got together for another reflective writing session and hit obstacles which we considered and got past but were not entirely happy about. We had set ourselves a 3rd piece to write and this is what I did this afternoon... it made me cry... it gave me results (totally different to those I had anticipated) and it left me with a rush of happiness!

Now I need to knuckle down to read through all the resources, I have now accumulated, but not before I have listed them all in a bibliography to be part of the ILP I must complete by the end of the week... I have had good thoughts on that too & very clear reasons for using the media that I intend to use and the way I want to use it.

All I have to do now is become as clear about the reflective models and genres I wish to use - better go read up on them...

QUIET EXCITEMENT & HUGE SATISFACTION

I got my mark for Module 2 & I am quietly thrilled...

I have managed to move from upper second to first class territory & it's such a good feeling. I worked hard at it and feel wonderfully rewarded, now I feel right on track and will do my very best to stay there. I'm more confident now that I know what I'm doing and will approach the next two modules, and the next two years, with zest & enthusiasm.

Better get back to reading up on reflective practice...
