The way inwhich i thought id learn this subject has differed massivly from how i am actually learning. I think my original learning goals were a bit idealistic or maybe how i thought i should learn? but in reality it just wasnt work out how i originally planned. I guess i originally saw learning as a linear process inwhich you do one thing after another to get to a certain point, however its im finding its actually elements working togeather and feeding into each other and going backwards and forwards which actually creates the learning. I do also understand that learning is different for everyone, so whats working for me might not necessarily work for another.
A positive i have got out of my journey so far is i do have some really good sources of infomation to work with which i can use as a point of reference and input, however i need to process this and create some kind of output..... Learning is a system!
As i mentioned previously the posters idea i started off doing was on the right lines however wasnt working as there was just too much infomation being crammed onto one page and think i got too caught up with the look of the poster than the infomation i was putting down which wasnt helping me to learn.
I needed to do something with very little design involved which can be repeated quickly and which pulled togeather the basic principles of each topic i am investigating. It would also be nice at the end of this module to have something i could use later on as a learning/teacher resource.
I started to make flash cards with key points in mechaninal systems which i am learning. This was really helpful way of keeping me focused on the topic and having a purpose for investigation and reason for aquiring all this infomation. For example; if the card is for third class levers- i would start looking at source of infomation about them (written, video's, practcle exdamples etc.) and also revisiting sources i had looked at previously, digging out the best bits of infomation (core principles and concepts) and then process it in a way inwhich i could understand it most effectively and make my learning of the topic more successful.
