Class Reflection - Week 2

Class Reflection Week 2

Presentation

Raw Experience

Preparation

I tried to reflect on the observation guidelines before the class.

I Decided to make the teaching lessons also part of the concept testing for my learning plan

I decided to structure the class in 3 segments.

I want to use geometry 

relations to create a balanced relation with the group

Class

I had to adapt immediately because their previous class was in a remote location and some were late. I took ten to 15 minutes by then almost everyone was in 

I showed the general structure , roadmap for the entire process, then explained all activities for the day. 

I invited the group to participate in the “knowledge production” process

Explain the AV production process and its 3 stages

I briefly described the analogy with the knowledge production process

The group was very welcoming of being included and as I made this a process for myself they seemed to immediately empathize and make me part of the group.

I worked on consolidating this idea of horizontal relation by presenting the idea of a forum as follows:

I aim to create an open and safe environment where we can all openly express ideas and learn from each other. To make our experience more productive and enjoyable, let's have conversations, test our ideas. As we project our artistic vision we bring our ideas “out of doors” in a forum. We can help each other a lot by sharing and listening, suspending judgment and reflecting on empathy.  We will watch references from films, sometimes these sequences can contain violence or hard language, if you feel you are not in the mood for it, please speak up, you can take a break and we can have a conversation later about the topic the material illustrates.

As depicted in the presentation text I was careful to include them at all moments and when possible let them lead the way. Which fortunately happened extensively. The 3 stage day programe allowed for flexibility and proved very useful when engagement was high and I could let the students work and engage in conversation.

I found this a very validating result to the comparison of unpredictability during AV production and teaching.

Interaction with the class

I made conscious effort to remember and point the group to examples or ideas 

they brought up during the session.
