Patch Twenty Five- Write your life
“journaling compares favorably to more traditional written assignments—including term papers—in terms of stimulating analytical and creative thinking, self-directed learning, awareness of course relevance to real-world events, understanding of self and others, and interest in the subject matter” (Mayo, 2010).
The nugget above from the article Patch Twenty Five- Write your life intrigues me to think of personal experiences with library referenced knowledge to support critical thinking. During field placement students are asked to write a weekly journal about their work experience and how it relates to what they have learned in the program.
The YouTube video “8 reasons why creativity is an essential skill for everyone to learn” by Potential explains how it’s important to train your mind to think creatively which helps you invent, problem solve, create and communicate.
