Session 2 Reflections

Overall, I am very happy with the delivery and the knowledge/information being shared and discussed today. There are 3 key take-aways and they are:

1. Application :
a. I am amazed with the ease and simplicity in creating a blog, posting comments and linking like-minded friends to my blog. The intent of this course to encourage learners to create their own personal blog is commendable as blogs are used commonly for reflective writing such as travel logs and diaries. They can also be used to help learners reflect on concepts taught in class.

b. With this discovery and realisation, I can then create several interest groups to share and discuss issues to gain collective wisdom. One interesting group I can create is Coaching for Performance. I can link all my fellow coaches in the SAF to share our coaching experiences and journeys so as to learn from each other.

2. Knowledge - I am a big fan for history. I am always marvelled with the genesis and foundations of knowledge/ theories/ principles/ laws and events. Hence, the exploration and sharing of the various founders/ fathers of Learning Environment such as Walberg, Murray, Moos, Fraser and Lewin really intrigued my desire to understand learning environment better.

3. I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to Dr Quek for her enthusiasm and passion in leading this group. To capture and retain our attention, she introduced and varied different MOIs to keep the class engaging and interesting. Also, she knows the trick/ way to capture our hearts, that is through food !! She pampered us with fruits, snacks and drinks, in addition to the usual F&B provided by NIE.
