Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice

It has been some intense weeks. It has been fun. It has sometimes been frustrating. But most of all it has been a good learning experience.

Hearing some of the content has made me feel happy, as I have been presented to a lot of interesting, and important, content.

I have enjoyed the group discussions. Hearing everyone’s thoughts on the topic, their own experiences from teaching/learning. Hearing about things that has worked, or could be altered a bit, after working through a topic. I have also been introduced to a lot of interesting material. Last topic, one of my peers added a very interesting document;  “Get inspired! A guide for successful teaching“, which is a material that they use at Aalto University. It seems very down to earth!

I have given myself a bit more time to digest some of the information that has “rained” over us, time to go through a lot of interesting articles, research etc. Today, by reading one of the blogs, I found the UDL guidelines, which is “a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn“.

Things takes time, and I think this journey has just began.
