A busy week ending with a great day of science on
Friday with the unfolding thinking project https://unfoldingthinking.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/afmtaptaptap.html Teaching has a new twist - in an effort to improve the experience for all I have decided to
send students the presentation I intend to give in the timetabled session with
them before the actual time we meet. It's my intention that enabling access to
the presentation in this way will allow the student to work through the
material in their own time and at their own pace -
hopefully there will be less time talking at the front for me - less
passive listening from the students - there will be more student interaction -
which will all leave more time within the session to discuss work. Of course this works if the students read emails. I had some of my best recent teaching
with year 3 at NUA on Monday. It was empowering watching students being
empowered. At Camberwell this was a real
triumph where the actual ideas behind the work were deconstructed - fantastic. This
is something I will continue.
Its less than a week to ALL https://artlanguagelocation.org/all2016-showtime/
I cycled past my piece at Land Economy and it's still going strong - Looking
forward to seeing all the work. Yes I
have succumbed to a folding bike which was a great choice as the clowns Abellio
in their ceaseless quest for 'customer' satisfaction chose to have a train consisting
of only 2 carriages - this out of Cambridge on a Friday night at 5.44 - the
same day there was racing at Newmarket - thank you for your care and attention
we loved standing for the entire journey pressed up against each other - oh yes
it was also late so another case of missed connections again. Although
transparent, I watched the supposedly very
dark the good neighbour from start
to finish we all knew where it was going. Using all the standard tropes Triple 9 wasn't that bad but wasn't
that much - lots of stars acting almost in their own films.
