Reflective Journal
Your Reflective Journal is a place to keep track of your
own learning. Here is where you record your questions, concerns, and
thoughts. Additionally, reflective questions will be listed in the Activities
of each module
These questions relate to the module theme, and are designed to provoke
your thinking. Answering any or all of the questions is Optional.
You are always free to develop your own questions and thoughts.
I will ask you to write your reflections at the end of each module.
Do not send your reflections to the whole class, although you may want
to use some of the ideas you develop in the Reflective Journal during
our group discussions on the email list. Think of the Reflective Journal
as working notes… not a finished essay or formal paper. You are
recording your learning process as you travel through this course. At the end
of our time together, you will look back and know where you have been.
Rubric for Reflective Journal Entries. Reflection is about self evaluation. Consider this rubric as you write your journal entries.
Reflective Journal Electronic Options:
We work online and will use technology to share ideas. Here are two
ways to submit your Reflective Journal.
Option A
You can write on the web using Quick
Topic. This collaborative tool creates a quick and easy message
board that you and I share.
***The first time you sign in and set up your account remember to
send me an invitation to join your 'QT'. Once we have connected it
will be easy for me to monitor your work. By writing in this space,
you allow me to 'look over your shoulder' as you work out your ideas.
I will visit your QT space regularly, and I may occasionally comment.
Think of this as a private conversation between the two of us…with
you doing most of the talking.
Option B
You may also choose to word process your Reflective Journal. At the
end of each module, use the 'Drop Box' web form found on the SiteMap
to send me an update of your reflections. (Just copy and paste your
journal entry into the form.)
As always, feel free to drop me a line with questions or comments.
