Tips for reflection & documentation
Tips for reflection & documentationWhether you are working on this module individually or in a group, you will encounter several reflection and transfer questions.
For individual learners, we recommend you
- find a designated space where you collect your key ideas and findings: a notebook, a digital tool (i.e. Padlet, Miro, OneNote, …), etc.
- if you know of a colleague who completed the same modules like you, find an opportunity to meet up and share your results with each other!
For groups, we recommend you
- set up an Idea Hub – for example, a white board, a poster, a table, a digital pinboard (i.e. Padlet, Miro), where you collect key ideas and findings
- decide for yourselves whether, after completing the module, the Idea Hub is meant for your group’s eyes only or if you would like to share or even present your work and experience (e.g. in the teacher’s lounge, during a conference, etc.)!
