The (almost) final hurdle

 I know I'm jumping the gun a little with my blog title as I know we still have our VIVA presentations to do in January however I am starting this week feeling rather positive about the submission due on Friday!

My essay is complete, I just need to get the word count down now by taking out some of my waffling, although this seems like a difficult task I am grateful to be in a position this week where I have too much as opposed to not enough!

I have also finished the creation of my artefact, there were lots of little pieces to organise and now it is just a case of putting them altogether in a video presentation. Originally I was going to accompany my video with text but I know myself I sometimes switch off if there is too much to read so instead I am going to attempt to record a voice over to go with it! I am extremely nervous about this because as much as I love to talk I actually hate the sound of my own voice and I know it's going to take me multiple takes before I get one I am even remotely happy with!

I've actually enjoyed module 3 the most out of all the modules, I really enjoyed the practical side of doing my inquiry and I feel I have learnt so much about myself alongside my chosen topic.

5 more days to go and then its (almost) all over, I'm really looking forward to watching everyones presentations and hearing about their experiences! It feels like we've been on this journey together forever!

Good luck everyone!

    Hi Georgina,
    Thanks for taking the time to read my blog too!
    Congratulations on finding yourself near the finish line :) I'm in the same position as you too - got to get the word count down and do a voice over for my artifact. I have just been working on the 'script' for it. I have to say though I am a bit lost as to how much to do. I know it's indicative of 2500 words but I don't know if I commented over the recording of my artifact, 2500 words will be too much!? But on the other hand I want it to be understood, as just seeing it digitally is not going to be like viewing it in the flesh. Don't know what your thoughts are on that? So I'm close to the end but I know getting this recording right and doing all the fiddly technical bits to do with the video are going to take me time...eeeeek!
    Good luck to you xx

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...

Onwards and upwards... Starting Module 2

 I can't believe the blog I am about to write is about starting Module 2?! The last time I blogged I had just completed my first draft of my Module 1 essay and I hadn't even started my diagram - it's safe to say that my work/life balanced took a huge hit at the end of last year and every time I thought about sitting down to blog or read what other people were sharing, something else came up. This is something I am actively looking to change throughout Module 2 so as they say... onwards and upwards! The open discussion from Wednesday morning was the first I have ever been able to make - usually I work full days but with the current lockdown I have been lucky enough to have a little bit of extra time.  The discussion group was mainly made up of Module 1 and 2 students with a few Module 3 students which was an absolute godsend! I think I speak for every Module 2 students when I say anytime someone asks a question I would find myself staring through the screen at the Module 3 g...

Catching up with Module 3

As I outlined in my previous blogs this term has been a tough one! My new job has taken over much more of my time than I initially thought and I found myself struggling to keep up with the workload so I was extremely grateful for the arrival of half term. I have managed to catch up on the Module 3 blogs that I missed and they were exactly what I needed! It was nice to have to opportunity to hear what everyones inquiry was and how they were finding their initial data collecting but having finished my final interview last week it was that Data and Analysis recording that I was most desperate to view. Helen started off by explaining that the traditional and more scientific definition of data probably wasn't the most relevant to our inquiry and that in fact when it comes to data we are simply talking about t he information we have gathered from a range of sources. Both Emily and Alice then went on to talk about how the data they had collected looked and felt for them at the present mom...
