Where am I at in my study? This week has been centred on gathering all my notes, research and thoughts and understanding which areas I need to focus on. Since starting the module I have read and re-read the handbook SO many times, but after doing it again the past few days I'm honing in on details I perhaps missed the times before! I've prioritised re-reading exerts from books and journals from the Reading List and Bibliography in the Handbook and highlighting more quotes from theorists to add depth to my essay. I'm exploring how 'being adaptable' has existed and still exists in my practise. Adapting to Ship Life was an experience which I had to suddenly adapt to multiple circumstances; a new routine, confined living space, less freedom, resilience to having long distance relationships with my support network. Most importantly I adjusted to all these personal changes whilst travelling. I am going to focus on cross cultural communication and how I adapted my communi...
After re- reading my Inquiry Proposal and Literature Review in Module 2, I am now focusing on identifying Key Texts surrounding my inquiry to use for my Literature Review in Module 3. This brought me back to a past blog I wrote in Module 2 which I found beneficial to re read. I wrote this after a Group BA PP Call focusing on the role of literature. I have attached the link for anyone interested. Link: https://ellieowen28.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-role-of-literature.html I referred back to the Literature I researched in Module 2, which scholars/ experts contribute context, alternate stances and develop discussion around my inquiry. After highlighting the VIP literature (as referred too in the Handbook) I researched further into the authors background and acknowledged more of their published work, which has deepened my understanding and created new questions. More in depth reading has developed new ethical considerations to consider regarding Personal Branding Onli...
Today I have gone back to reading 'Knowing Knowledge' by George Siemens. At beginning of the Module I read this and have found re-reading it beneficial as I now have more of an understanding on the theories included and how they have manifested in my practise. In my current AOL of time management during a transition I explored synthesising connectivism has helped manage my time. During my transition from Dancer to DC I had to prepare how I was going to teach and install a new cast of performers into the productions shows. Establishing time management was vital. Re-reading 'Knowing Knowledge' has elaborated my understanding of Connectivism and prompted new ideas. Siemens, G (2006 pg.30) quotes that a principle of learning is "a network formation process of connecting specialised nodes or information sources". If you need to create a more confined network you can create "a personal network of trusted nodes" (2006, pg. 33). He refers to relying on ...
