Brave Enchanted spaces
We started our journey with a little string theory which was a joyous visual discovery of turn taking, the power of conversation and meeting the cohort in a safe space.
From the reading I had been particularly inspired by Patrick Curry “The Enchantment of Learning” and Arab & Clemens “From Safe Spaces to Brave Spaces” and I was intrigued at the influence those particular texts lit up the learning for me during this session.
Stage left aside… through the teaching I noted ideas to play with in session planning… the different approaches the are familiar in international cultures… Popcorn would make a great icebreaker with a popcorn machine throwing words around…. A literal Goldfish bowl of learning… note to self must get it out the shed and dust off…. Great metaphors to explore topics for discussion…. Then someone flagged up that by changing the voice of a screen reader meant that the text was heard in a different voice… the first thing I did when I got home was tried Grandma…. Laughing hysterically… I was happy to be back at UAL
Tim then imparted that e-learning had originated from Disneyland in early 2000… whoop whoop… now I was firmly back on home ground and suddenly my career and new adventure collided… enchanted learning experiences in a brave space is my mission.
Just to prove that magic was in the air I got to the car just before the parking warden did!…
