REFLECTION

I am going to use this page to discuss my midwifery experiences. I am using a blog in the hope that i will gain some learning from reflection.

I am currently doing postgraduate studies on relection on practice, hence the reason for deciding to do a blog. I must admit I have never been one to relect in writing, preferring to discuss situations as a way of learning.

I do enjoy the use of the internet and using these internet tools has sparked my creativity, enhanced my enjoyment of reflection, given me an opportunity to network with other like minded people and is an outlet for my thoughts and information sharing.

Wow!! This is fabulous! You must tell the others about it, especially Julia.

How are you going to attach documents which are your evidence?

Hello Tania, you have made a great start, it is amazing when you start writing how much clearer things become, rather than just discussing them. Also you then have evidence of what you have reflected. In years to come you will then reflect back on these experiences and see how much your point of view may of changed. Carry on the good work, I will visit from time to time to see how you are going. Come and visit my blog and see what happens around the world. A fellow midwife.

I think what I will do is turn my electronic pages into pdf documents to give the review committee. Or,just give the committee the url and let them print out what they want. I believe that eportfolios will be something that become standard, so these issues will need to be sorted. Let's ask Sally about eportfolios on Monday.

As for supporting documentation, you can always turn them into pdf, lodge them on the Internet, and then link them to your eportoflio. I store a lot of my stuff on Internet Archive: http://www.archive.org

But you can also use Google Docs & other tools.

I was thinking that maybe I'd run a tutorial on Elluminate in a couple of weeks for those of you interested in eportfolios: would that be of any interest/use to you?
