11 9.1 Personal Reflection (FLOf)

“We do not learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience” (Dewey, 1933, p.78).

PURPOSE OF THE TASK:The purpose of this activity is to encourage you to reflect on your learning experience within the FLOf course.

TECHNOLOGY: You are welcome to post your reflection on the Moodle discussion forum link entitled FLOf Reflection (below) in any format you choose (text, audio, or video).

Instructions:

Please take some time to reflect on your FLOf experience. Feel free to post your reflection on the Moodle discussion forum entitled FLOf Reflection in either audio, video or text.
As you reflect on your journey through FLOf consider the following questions to guide your reflection.
  • In what ways has FLOf helped inform my teaching?
  • How might I use what I’ve learned in FLOf to inform my future online facilitation?
  • Now that I have a gained a student perspective to online learning, what would an engaging online learning experience look or feel like?
  • How might my instructors have better supported my learning?
  • How might I have better supported my learning?
  • How might I improve my student’s learning by sharing what I’ve learned from a student’s perspective?

As lifelong learners, we know that it is amidst the highs and lows of the learning journey where the real learning happens.

TEACHING INTENTIONS:
“…lifelong learning takes place through reflection [and] reflection, once learned, is a skill that crosses disciplines… As  educators we  need to  facilitate critical  reflection  to enable  students  to move  beyond  a superficial  understanding  of their world” (Colley, Bilics, & Lerch, 2012, pp. 1-2).
