In your blogs you will need to REFLECT on the module weekly. Please use a model of reflection to do so. Reflective models provide a handy framework and will give your blogs structure and ensure they are academic robust (i.e. worthy of marks at level 6). You need to use a range of contemporary theory and cite your references in the blog. End the blog with a short reference list.
You could use: Gibbs, Schon, Rolfe et al…. It’s important to choose a reflective cycle which fits the situation well and feels comfortable to use.
