Personally for me it was really helpful because I honestly need to say that I was a bit confused by reading the "Reader 3 - Networked Professional". I think the problem was that in the "Reader" there are so many facts and information and sometimes also words that I did not understand.
I made a journal entry from this session with Paula, and I thought I will share it with you. I have created a mind map and I think it covers nearly everything we have talked about in this session. (I hope you can read it!)
My favourite question from this "Reader" is:
Why is affiliation, friendship and love so important for us?
Because we are social creatures, human beings and we love to spend time with other people -> to swap information, to interact with each other.
In the article from Crisp, Richard J. & Turner and Rhiannon it says "Teenagers were happier and more excited when in the company of others than alone. A lack of affiliation may have a negative impact." = helps us to survive!
"If we have too little contact, we feel isolated and if we have too much contact, we feel crowded."
Hi Lindaa,
AntwortenLöschenI really enjoy beginning every task with a mind map as it really helps me see exactly what I want to write about and I do. It miss any points off. I have wrote some journal entries like this... Do you find this technique the most effective or what other formats do you think are good to set out your thoughts? I am always looking for new ideas that will help my reflective process.
With regards to Reader 3, I enjoyed Crisp and Turners article, yet I felt it only laid over things I already knew... Have you always been drawn to people who share interests with you? Is that not basic instinct, rather than a networking tool? I'm still unsure how I lie with this, what are your thoughts?
Good luck with the rest of the module
Ami
Thanks Linda - affiliation is certainly an idea that could use more consideration - a basic need - but how how does affiliation work in situations and social situations - you cannot choose the people you work with - Anthony just talked about this is his work as a performer - might be worth your looking at his blog. Like the way you are making connections - have you visited Ami's blog? I just found this youtube video the other day about mind maps and the guy who is cited as having invented the modern ones! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlabrWv25qQ
