Reflection is considered a crucial philosophical activity which enables an individual to consider an experience, analyse and appraise it, and prepare for future actions based on the insight gained by this new perception.
I judge I will gain a deeper awareness in my learning practice as I work through each module of the Masters in Applied eLearning.
I believe achieving course aims and objectives will help me develop the required knowledge and skills to become an eLearning practitioner.
Gibbs model of reflection maps out this process, by providing a structure it allows reflections to develop a cycle based on, description, thoughts and feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and future action.

Anfuso, J. (2014). "Reflexive and Reflective Learning" PowToon.
This video examines how reflective practice can be used to critically examine teaching methods. Explaining that teaching methods may reflect a teacher’s attitudes and assumptions, good reflective practice will seek to continually question attitudes and assumptions, ensuring they are not hindering good practice. Reflective practice justifies the inclusion of student feedback in resource development.
Leamon, J. (2011). "Reflective Practice and Reflection".
A light hearted introduction to reflective practice, two novice students of reflective practice discuss what it maybe about and what they would like from it, namely for a practical structure providing useful lists, prompts and structure, so they can work out what they need to learn next and not theory driven content, and deliberate that keeping a journal will help the learning and development of your practice.

Using a variety of media in my reflective blog, such as video, images, text, mindmaps, and animation to represent the objectivities of reflective practice.
