Suspect this might be behind some of our current affection for story telling in a digital context. <BR/><BR/>You travel and connect with educators across the world - I am interested in what think will be our next (e)muse - our next use of ICT as a trigger for enhancing reflective thought - will it remain through narrative?artichokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926940379668541109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079154.post-1134983279853605372005-12-19T01:07:00.000-08:002005-12-19T01:07:00.000-08:00Keep in mind that these were highly motivated adul...Keep in mind that these were highly motivated adults, who wrote very brief reflections, and only a small percentage were actually recorded. In the ASCILITE example, we recorded only a small number of the total turned in. I believe we do not give enough time to reflection in our classrooms, perhaps because so few teachers know how to facilitate it well. I think the value is in the process, not in the product.eportfolioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480417030020178949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079154.post-1134950284558294792005-12-18T15:58:00.000-08:002005-12-18T15:58:00.000-08:00I am interested that your tightly scheduled reflec...I am interested that your tightly scheduled reflective time produced such empathic and connected digital stories. Do you think that we give too much time over to reflection or digital story making, in our classrooms - that perhaps there might be no direct relationship between the time given to the activity and the quality of the digital reflection. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps Socrates' "The unexamined life is not worth living" has become "The examined life is not worth too much classroom time" in the context of the digital story. With the rider that we are judging the value of the activity through the digital product constructed.artichokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926940379668541109noreply@blogger.com
