Creative Reflections
My experiences in educational settings have enabled me to develop different approaches to evaluating creative learning experiences and to build opportunities, mechanisms and methodologies for learners to express their own learning journeys.
I feel very passionately about young people being given the opportunity to take ownership of how they learn and being given the space to articulate their thoughts and ideas. Digital media can be used as an every day reflection tool as well as an end of project evaluation vehicle.
Wilsthorpe Community School , Long Eaton
Over a number of years we have been developing student voice through film and digital media. Wilsthorpe students have developed a reputation as professional film crews that are completely student led. Both the filming and editing process provide a platform for students to reflect about the learning that is taking place.
