EduSci (REFLECTION) Session 1 Reflection of the day! In this part of my blog, I will write on my reflection on the virtual class. I think that the teacher explained the activities that needed to be done in the following sessions, Getting to know each other and presenting oneself I think gives me also a platform to talk but not necessary teaching. Maybe it would have been better to have some kind of pre-task that would say what kind of personal introduction should have and should include the following: What one has to say in terms of academia, and personal and also how long and other things. Should choosing the pair be more randomised, just an opinion. The reason that I choose Jean Piaget is because I have heard about him before, but did not remember what the theory was about, that it why I choose this to refresh… Also, on David Kolb, no idea why I choose this, should choosing always have a reason, or can it be at random?
