Having never looked into the blogging community I was somewhat naïve as to how much help and communication you can actually gage from it.

Being a Module one starter I was floating around through Tutors and other Module one’s blogs, trying to find answers and common ground however during the discussion group with all Modules I was reminded how much knowledge people that have walked in our shoes can provide us with.

Networks and communities was a topic up for discussion and how many people can be reached within one. This then clicked in with me that the BAPP is a community or network within itself and through blogging you can not only look through blogs of those in the same position as you but ones that were once in your position seeing their outlook too.

I then found myself looking through blogs of different Modules and even past Graduates. I am slowly but surely finding my way through the blogging community!

    Hi Sam, I am a Module 1 student too. I'm making a point of trying to say Hi, and leave as many comments as possible because I feel I'll be a lot more confident if I can discuss what we are all up to. How are you getting on? Charlie M1

    Hey Sam! I am just starting Module 1 now and I am feeling the exact same way about blogging and this community as you were in this post! Someone who is on Module 3 suggested to me that I comment on as many posts as possible to get into the swing of things - which is what I am doing now!

    I look forward to reading your posts as you move through the Modules. Good luck!

      Hi Cath! I totally agree with the person on Module 3 who suggested commenting on as many post as possible! Its also great to blog about the ideas you are having along the way as you may find someone comments who is feeling exactly the same. Making these connections is so important to not feel alone on this course.

      Looking forward to reading your blog throughout your journey!

Areas of Learning

Slowing mapping out my diagram and planning my essay alongside each other seemed the best idea until I came across my Areas of Learning. I struggled recalling on knowledge I had learnt and how this manifests in my field of practise now. After my tutorial with Maria it became clearer to think back on an experience and not just recall that experience but focus more on the knowledge learnt from it and how it transfers to my Professional Practise now. As a self employed performer who also teaches my approach to knowledge is transdisciplinary. As more than one discipline is being used to contextualise my knowledge. Therefore when thinking of Areas of Learning I was relating to life auditioning as a professional dancer and life teaching. I came up with a few different ideas some are more vague then others.. Throughout private dance classes growing up I always danced in front of a mirror so learnt how to self correct. This was then carried through to today when I attend auditions to watc...

Presentation!

I have been reflecting on my inquiry process while making my artefact and thinking of the best way to present it. Has anyone else had any thoughts on their presentation and how they are going to fit 12 weeks of work into a concise explanation? I think because my line of inquiry has interested me so much I could talk about it for hours but that's no good! I do look forward to hearing about everyone else's inquiries though! Comment below if you have been thinking about your presentation too. Sam x
