Congratulations! You made it to our class blog, Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...!
We will use this space to complete activities related to Assignment 5: Reflections on Learning. Throughout the course, you will be required to complete six reflection activities. Each activity will post some "type" of post to this blog. You can fell free to post comments to other individuals; however, it is not required.
Why is it called, Mirror, Mirror on the Wall...?
We selected this name as a play on words to describe the importance of becoming a reflective practitioner. Effective instructors become skillful practitioners who consistently reflect upon and modify their practices. Reflection provides the opportunity for learners to critically question the validity of arguments, understand the importance of continuous learning, construct meaning, and compare/contrast their personal experiences with new knowledge.
