Oral Presentation

So the final part of my degree was the Oral presentation which took place on Tuesday 3rd June at the University.

It was very nerve-wracking but I am hopeful that I got my point across and showed the results that my research had produced.

I have attached the power point presentation that I used during my Oral. Hope it makes sense.

Writing done ane submitted!

Well, its all done now and out of my hands! I am relieved but perhaps even more worried that I have done enough of the right thing to get a decent mark! Don't feel entirely happy as I don't like the uncertainty of it all. Its all down to someone else's opinion now. Anyway, just to Oral presentation to go and I am looking forward to meeting more of my fellow BAPPers on the 3rd June before we go to graduation! Gosh, a graduate - wish my headmistress from school could see this. She told me that I was wasting my grammar school education because I was leaving school at 16 to go to Arts Ed!
I have enjoyed reading other peoples Blogs and have found them inspiring and worrying at times!!
The finish line is in sight guys! \Well done to us all!

Finishing Post

Well here I am four days before submission deadline and I think I have finished! Just waiting for a bit of feedback on my artefact but other than that done! It has been an interesting journey that has taught me how to reflect on my work and really analyse things on more depth. My inquiry has helped me to understand how other teachers feel and that  my experiences are not unique! It has helped me to understand that, in some cases, it is not the children who are at fault, but changes in society and parenting skills! Roll on June 3rd for the oral presentation (although I am dreading this!!) See you all at graduation!

Writing, writing, thinking and writing....

Well, I have completed my Inquiry and written it all up! However, now got to add appendices and bibliography - when will it end? Still got to do my artefact as well. I am trying to decide what to attach as appendices -  Blog entries - copies  of them or links?? Links to Facebook posts?/ A copy of my consent form etc etc there is still so much to think about and I felt I had achieved so much having completed my inquiry.

The final sprint!

Well, I have been away from my Blog for a while as I have been away for three weeks. Before I went I had submitted a section of my analysis for feedback just to check that I was on the right track. When I returned from my holiday, I went back to this sample, read the feedback from Alan, and set to finishing that section. I think it did me good to have the break away from it as I was thinking too much about it. Once I sat down, it just flowed from me and seemed very logical. I have now submitted my completed analysis to Alan and apart from a little tweak here and there it is done. So now just to complete my Conclusion and then put it all together! THEN the artefact starts, so the next couple of weeks of intense work and then........that's it - done and dusted. Looing forward to seeing people at the Oral presentations. Graduation booked, how did that come round so quickly. For anyone on Module one or two - stick with it, it all comes together in the end!!

Surreal experience

I have just done a search on Google for an article that I had found, but I cannot access today through my Delicious account and up pops my Literature review as one of the search results. It was rather strange seeing my name and photograph and a link to my Blog!

Module 3 Group Skype tomorrow?

To all module 3 participants, we are planning another group Skype call tomorrow morning between 9 and 12 for anyone who wants to take part? I would just need your Skype address if you have not already been on one!! I have put in on our Facebook SIG as well, but thought I would Blog it in case this reaches more people!!
