There are many other posts on my Learning blog if you want to find out a little bit about where it has taken me so far. Like this one. Indeed the MA underpins much of what we are going with Authentic Blogging and the courses we are running. [...] […] Just contact the lovely Dr Scherto Gill if you want to know more, or contact me.

Your feedback and input on the learning biography stuff is really helpful. I have to say, I sometimes struggle with my choice to be fairly open, informal and non-academic in my style of writing. It's a very conscious choice, to do with being accessible to the widest possible audience. I guess there is the potential to be considered not 'serious' enough, or objective enough. But I have real doubts about whether anything can ever be objective as we are always decoding the world through our own filters. Yes!. It's great to be affirmed - Libby Thanks Rose.

The blogs I have looked at before have been rather more distant and more ‘professional’ in a slightly cool way so it was great to be in touch with the humanness of yours. A number of things struck me from your blog that will surface again as you start on the learning journal section of the MA of the next few weeks Reggio Emilia was mentioned quite a lot by our tutor so it will be a great link to what you are doing. Composure was another – how we compose our stories and who they are composed for. Audience is another important consideration – how we change our story/our selves depending on who is listening. The public and private self was an interesting consideration for me when writing my journals – what sort of self did I want people to see – was it the true self and is there such a thing as the true self Now you have got me started …. Fascinating stuff! Thank you for the personal comments – I have found the people I have worked with on my courses at university stimulating academically but also very life-affirming as well (just as much an important part of the learning journey as the research) Best Wishes and looking forward to reading more of the blog Rose Just had a quick look at the blog and thought it fascinating – I am delighted to be able to read such an open account of someone’s learning journey.
