(15) My Comments on fellow bloggers.
Nathaniel’s Blog: I like the simplicity of the blog, just short textual entries that are very informative. Sheldon’s Blog: This blog is visually stunning with clear introductory areas and in-depth knowledge in each post. Also, Sheldon’s post keeping all the comments together inspired me to create this section on my own Blog. Zuleika’s Blog: A …
(14) Discussion task – Late July
I was put in the group alongside Ben and Matt to discuss pre-selected work in the format of the forum. Ben was first to start the snowball by discussing my submission of A Model of Learning Objectives based on A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing: A Revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, which …
(12) Summer Online – April & July Seminars
The first online session we had was focused around changes to the PGCert curriculum and slowed down delivery with a significant portion of Q&A spent on explaining the Extenuating Circumstances process that could be applied for on-going Units.

(9) Past, present, future

(5) The anxiety of a new teacher story of an Imposter Syndrome
As I always attempt to be ahead of the game, I decided to schedule my initial tutorial, with a personal tutor (Iestyn) as early as possible. We managed to get it done and over with already on the 3rd of January and to a degree, yet it did not help me with my Imposter Syndrome. …

(4) Studying as a game
Personally, I do not understand a British notion within the education system that one’s grades cannot be known to others. Maybe I am biased as my whole education prior to HE was in a different system that everybody knew everyone else grades, but nobody really cared. I mean, yeah if somebody was always failing and …
