It was great in todays welcome Skype, to get a "walk" through myUnihub and all the important links, I feel like things are much clearer now on the organisational side. Especially the suggestion to add the "Follow by E-mail" gadget to peoples blogs and also the blogadresses being on the myUnihub web site now, looks like it will make blogging much easier. I also appreciated Adesola reminding us, that blogging is about having a conversation, not about presentation. I often found myself overthinking my comments and some times ended up not commenting at all, as it took me too long, to figure out what to write. Will try to work on that ;-).
Its good to be back after the break and dive into Module 2. Thoughts about the M2 inquiry have accompanied me all summer. I feel that there are research questions jumping out at me on every corner, after inspiring conversations, interesting reads or during class. While when starting Module 1 I was overwhelmed by all the information, I now feel kind of overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Possibilities to choose an inquiry question from. Some times I feel like standing at a cross roads; there are so many paths I want to explore, each one more intriguing and interesting than the other and I just can't choose which one to take.
I find it quite a challenge to narrow down my questions and am very interested to hear about other peoples experience with the process of finding their inquiry question.
Looking forward to reading your blogs and comments!

I too felt last year like there were so many options to choose from. I don't know if you were on the same skype call and heard it too, but something stuck with me by, I think, Brandon. He said that as you continue to research, the gaps in the research will make themselves clear, and once you find the gaps, that's where you know is a good place to go. That was exactly how I stumbled onto my topic. Everything looked researched to death until suddenly I found a gap on a topic I happen to be really interested in.
AntwortenLöschenHi Hannah, yeah I also wrote the part about the gaps down in my notes and been thinking about it, it seems like a good approach. I guess its finding two kinds of gaps, the ones in the research and your own gaps/or places you want to know more about and explore.
AntwortenLöschenHi Agata, I think that's a really useful point about the blogs being a conversation - I too used to think too much about sentence and paragraph structure - instead of just writing something that can start a conversation! Do you feel like your area of research has changed much over the summer? I'm just starting module 1 and I'm interested in what module 2's are looking into in their specialist area!
