Is blogging something you can be good or not so good at?

Having never blogged or even considering blogging before I wasn't entirely sure if I was going to be any good at it.


- Is blogging something you can be good or not so good at? 


- Do people actually want to listen to my ramblings? 


- What if I struggle for something to say? 


Well I think it's safe to say question 3 isn't going to be too big of a problem, but in all seriousness, what if people don't like my thoughts or the ideas that I am going to blog about? This was a huge deal for me... for all of 5 minutes, and then I realised


It doesn't matter!


This is going to be my safe space, where I can put out into the world what I'm thinking and connect with others whether they are like-minded or share different views entirely. It's going to be a space for me to grow and learn about myself, about others and about my profession in ways that will challenge me, but that will also reward me.


Besides I love talking, more than anything, and blogging is basically thinking out loud and then putting it online for the entire world to read... no biggie!

    Hi, Georgina, lovely to meet you, I am sorry to hear your cruise has not worked out this time. I agree it is lovely to have a safe space we can communicate on. I have just started the course and am unsure but curious about this whole new world of blogging and research. I have not done anything academic really since school and am a little worried about which books to read and choose and how to incorporate them into my essays as I am more practical than academic but would like to face this new challenge. I hope we can chat again soon.

Redrafts and artefacts

 You would think by now I would have realised how quickly the time flys in the last couple of weeks of the module! Going from feeling rather relaxed about my report to getting my draft back and also working on my artefact has sent me into another whirlwind spiral! My biggest concern with my report is getting the word count down! I know it's better to have too much than not enough but I was already cutting it close and now I know it's going to be a challenge in itself! The feedback on my draft was incredibly helpful and has left me with a lot of things to consider about my inquiry. I really can't believe this time last year I was working on my module one dreading having to write a 5000 word report in module 3 and now I am fully embracing the entire process. I've made a good start with my artefact and now its a case of fine tuning the small details to really reflect my inquiry and the individuality of the process itself! Presentations aside there will be a huge sense of r...

How do you link your data through analysis and reflection?

Tonight I was finally able to make the module 3 call and it was everything I needed at this point in the inquiry process. Before we started Helen read a excerpt from the KORTEXT  "nothing is lost, but we can get lost in it"  What we're saying here is that its not how we get the data for our inquiry, all research is valuable, but how do we figure out what to do with it? This was one of my biggest questions and the part of the inquiry that I felt I was hitting a wall with - the analysis. First of all Helen reminded us of some key points when thinking about the analysis section of the report: Do something with the data - don't include 'raw' data in your report, yes you can use quotes to support your themes but make sure you do something with them. Reflect on what research you have gathered - what relationship does the data have to the lens of your professional practice? What does it mean to you? Analysis is a process - more often than not you will step away fr...

Over and out... for now

 I can't even explain the overwhelming sense of accomplishment I feel after completing my presentation this morning but this photo of me in NZ from 2019 pretty much sums it up!! Firstly a huge well done to Jen, Olivia, Clare, Shelley, Katie, Roanne, Alys, Chloe and Olivia for your presentations. I feel like I have learnt so much from your short presentations alone and the information and ideas you shared were enriching and have given me even more to think about in regards to our wider industry! The journey I have been on throughout the BAPP course has definitely had its ups and downs and on more than one occasion I felt like giving up because I didn't know if I was on the right track or not. My advice to anyone in Module 2, Module 1 or even people considering the BAPP course is to try your best to be open minded to the experience and accept that there really is never a right or wrong answer. Reflecting on my journey has highlighted just how much I have grown as both a practitio...
