So my day one didn’t go quite as planned …. unfortunately I had a clash with a teaching day so was unable to attend Day One with my cohort. This has put me at a huge disadvantage not being part go the wider ‘conversation’. Having checked out the Padlet for my cohort, I instantly felt out of my depth. The pedagogic language bamboozled me and put me right back into the exam hall for O Level History. FEAR. This was my most hated school subject (although I feel I should confirm that I enjoy history generally but not how it was taught to me aged 16). Recognising this has been a good thing (although the anxiety that comes with it not so great) as I have experience and know that there are people to reach out to to help me overcome this – likely this is a case of the teacher becoming the student.
With this in mind I selected a paper from Spark, the UAL Creative Teaching and Learning Journal (Vol 5/ Issue 1/ 2022) on Introducing Technical Architecture Digitally by Ciaran Malik. Having taught at Interior design BA level in other institutions and Architecture on Foundation at CSM, we have experience how complex it is to combine the practicalities of learning & understanding architecture but through a digital platform. And I feel confident about using this as a source for what I believe will be my main subject of interest for the PGCert – which is Blended Learning. Having had to engage in some level of blended learning over the last 3 academic years.
My parting shot for this entry is the Blog. THE BLOG. I feel like a luddite with this. To be clear I love technology, but I realise I need to get my head around this and quick.
ACTION PLAN
- Rewatch the afternoon session for all. Make a list of points & action
- Find technical help for the Blog! ONGOING
- More research on blended learning
