12 Reflective practice is a continuous process, an ongoing cycle. It requires the individual to accept that nothing is perfect, but it can always be improved. Experience alone does not make better, but utilisation of it does. The idea is to learn from yourself and your practice, to maximise the benefits of learners. • Challenge your assumptions. • Observe the learners' response critically. • Work on yourself. Innovative ways to make use of the competence in action The checklist of reflective practice – 6Rs: • React : observing on data (i.e., learners' performance, comments, feedback) and deciding on which area of your digital practice you need to focus on. • Record : documenting your performance. • Review : understanding your current digital practice (what works well and what does not). • Revise : adapting your practice to new digital approaches, tools, means. • Rework : planning of future improved digital practice. • Reassess : evaluating how new strategies affect learners' digital competences. Related digital tools • Online forms & questionnaires (e.g., Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, Kwiksurveys) offer you the ability to quickly disseminate your questions and automatically present the results of evaluation forms. • Microteaching involves videotaping your lesson to review it. You will be amazed by the amount of information and discoveries you can make from it. You can always watch the course with a colleague or an experienced educator and ask for their feedback. • Digital notebooks (e.g., Evernote, OneNote, Google Keep) allow you to handle any notes, while you can carry them always with you by syncing apps across your smart devices. • B/Vlogging and Podcasting in relevant platforms (e.g. EPALE) and forums allow you to share your experiences and teaching in practice, while colleagues can give you constructive feedback.
