Reflective Practice

I have never been so conscious of my thoughts until now. Reflective practice is something we all do and yet taken for granted sometimes.

Now I know that I am not the only one that talks to myself. Cause there are so many of them who are doing it, and people even wrote books on it and even got a Phd too.

While going thru the different approach of Reflective Practice, it reminds me of the time when I was teaching my students how to come out with a Powerpoint slide for presentation. I taught them to have at most 6 points in each slide and 6 words for each point.(/PowerPointTips) Each group were asked to give a presentation at the end of the course.



One group did exceptionally well and they did not stick to the rule of 6 I taught. Instead, they presented their slides with one picture one slide, or one point one slide. (death-by-powerpoint) This is a total different way of crafting slides for presentation and I adopted it and started to teach them to the next class.


Later, I happen to chance upon Prezi (http://prezi.com/), where presentation is done on one canvas and everything is in a continuous flow.

Till date, I have yet to move on to teaching students on how to use Prezi as it is only available on the web (its FREE online, but you will need to pay to use the Desktop version) and its not easy to craft one.
