I have been collecting papers and journal articles on a computer folder that I have started systematically working my way through. Filtering out anything that was too far outside the net I had cast. George Siemens talks of Exclusion as a vital learning process.
'We cannot possibly consider every facet of a new idea. We exclude in order to move to the point of active cognition on, or interaction with, an idea.' (Siemens, 2006 pg 36)
Although I am not yet at the analysis phase as I have not finished my practice reflection journal I am starting to see links and threads appearing in my literature.
(Pintrest, 2019)
And Eureka! I feel like I am starting to get somewhere....
I still have a long way to go, unpicking the ethical considerations, viewing my findings from different perspectives, but for that brief moment the sun shone through the fog and I feel I have my Inquiry VIP guest list complete.
Now to get this party started....

Hi Charlie, it is great to read your blog and hear how you are getting on and that you are seeing links and threads. I've noticed the same within my data, though I have also noticed that some of my findings are taking me way off topic but in lots of ways are relevant. Feel a little like I'm treading water in a pool of different thoughts! hopefully I will have the same Eureka moment soon!
