Learning from our experiences
But what makes reflection different from implicit learning?
Making the most of those experiences
Appreciating alternative viewpoints
Considering alternative actions and outcomes
Revisiting those thoughts, alone and with others, in a secure way

8. What did you do?
Provide a clear record of the 'event‘: Include your intentions, and describe your practice
What prompted your approach? What happened?
Consider your own and others' viewpoints and feelings - put yourself in their shoes
What impact did the learning technologies have on your activity?
How will you evaluate this activity later? What evidence do you need?
What could you have done differently?
Learning points - Please propose at least one action that you can take forward
