Someone mentioned to me this week if I have been posting blog entries about my reflections on teaching this semester. The answer is no, at this point to protect privacy but I have been taking notes down after each class and then looking back on them later trying to position “what happened” with some theories and principles I have been reading on design education. Ideally, I will make quick comic pages out of them so I can present it as a visual dialogue.
Teaching this semester is very much linked towards one of my research methods. While I’m not forceable bringing in my own models into the curriculum and testing, it does allow me to review what is happening in the classroom and look at all the “forces” involved. The course does have some flexibility so I am able to propose reflective processes into the daily learning activities. Also, I am noticing how we are delivering the objectives and more importantly I am always relating “what I do” and “what the students do” to the knowledge I have now regarding education and aligned curriculum’s.
