As you may have read in my earlier blog I have sometimes struggled to participate in the group Skype sessions due to rehearsals or bad signal. Today I managed to get an amazing signal and got involved in the group discussions. The Skype session had students from modules 1, 2 and 3, which was very helpful as I’m in module 1 and I found the discussions with students from different modules valuable. Adelsola asked us one by one to tell the group what we’d like to discuss and the topics that came up were: · Professional profile (this is what I wanted to discuss as this is one of my tasks) · Unpaid work · Ethics · Enquiry questions · Drafts · Interview questions · Acting · Perfection · Plagiarism I’m still getting used to this way of learning and this specific Skype session got me excited as we really were learning from each other by answering each other’s questions and giving advice. I now know this
Unfortunately I had rehearsals and missed the Skype session, which sent me into a panic. Surely if I miss it I will fall behind? However during the BAPP arts course we use web 2.0 for communication, so even though I wasn’t physically in the conversation on Skype I am able to read every ones accounts of the Skype session and still discuss my thoughts. First of all I read Adesolas blog as this gave me an outline of what was discussed and she mentioned what thoughts people had put forward. They talked about how module one asks you to re think and re feel the assumptions you have about yourself and what you do as a way to better position and recognize what your own practice is. Modesty v showing off Modesty v generosity Criticism v reflection I read through the thoughts of the other students doing module one and what they’d posted as their blog about the session. I was drawn to the idea of module one having three main lens, COMMUNICATION, REFLECTION and NETWORKING
