I've just finished listening to the lectures for Week 10, and I'm feeling really inspired. Char Booth laid out very clearly so much that I've been trying to learn piecemeal (and I'm grabbing her book on Monday to reinforce what I've learnt). In MPOW I'm involved in instruction for information literacy - it is a core part of my role. And yet, possibly because I've come to this role in a roundabout way, I have felt that - although I try my best - I'm just not doing it well at all. And felt overwhelmed when I have looked to increase my knowledge and skills in this area. It just seems so huge.
This session reassured me that I do have more knowledge in this area than I had given myself credit for, that there is indeed a huge amount to learn, and that it is do-able with the right guides and resources. So, book is sorted,
blog is subscribed to via RSS and
Char is followed on Twitter (sounds very fan-girl I know). I will branch out from there.
Oh, and I loved her quote from John Dewey:
Education is a social process.
Education is growth.
Education is not a preparation for life;
Education is life.
