I'm writing my presentation trying to remember to include a "how" for every bit of evidence, but it's REALLY HARD because I don't always have specific details of HOW my work has changed people apart from people saying "your work is so good" etc etc. There MUST be a better way of recording this
As I continue my quest to finish my SFHEA I am reflecting that, whilst Chartership taught me to write down everything I ever do, and the PGCHE taught me to reflect on what I do afterwards, SFHEA is teaching me to keep every bit of feedback you ever get

I was showing the difference between a quotation and a paraphrase. I used the sentence "Vygotsky is the GOAT" to sum up a three sentence paragraph explaining that Vygotsky is, in fact, the GOAT. And did I get a single laugh? Yes, and yes I will be living on that high for the rest of this term.
