Thinking about the role of reflection in this project has got me looking through some past presentations I have given to students. Recently while working with year 1 Textile Design students at Norwich NUA where I work as a Senior Lecturer I ran a workshop on the subject. https://www.slideshare.net/l.bicknell/17-10-17-reflective-practice 
some of the questions we might ask are -
what happened? 
why did it happen? 
what do I think about this?  
what should I do as a result of this?  
advice
write often
write freely - without hesitation
write down stuff even if it's not relevant - who knows?

We managed to use the colour of the collaboration tables to organise the students effectively. As an experienced teacher, it immediately presented an unusual classroom in the number of tutors and technicians present. This made it feel unusual, special. Artists introduced themselves - maybe we should all introduce ourselves (students included) next year? For bridge building, we used the coloured collaboration tables to direct students into groups. The preallocated groups managed to absorb newcomers and cope with absentees so that each group was a mix o

3D Printing in Healthcare & Drawing Workshop - Week 4

I can't sleep on Thursday nights because I'm so excited about this module! Firstly, we managed to get our dual extruder printer working and Les was one of the first to run a print - mini brain - very beautiful. Les admiring his creation Our students learnt about the various uses of 3D printing at Guy's & St. Thomas' hospitals and then we had a brainstorm session to come up with the next breakthrough use of this technology in healthcare. Ideas ranged from 3D printing emergency supplies in space to printing out DNA one nucleotide at a time. 3D printing whole cadavers for dissection I taught the students about advanced features in ITKSnap for segmentation and nearly everyone decided to segment and print my femur / tibia. Working hard at finishing a knee joint Gorgeous sketchbook decoration - well done Devi! The afternoon was spent improving drawing techniques and having a lot of fun in the process.
