Early thoughts on approaching E891

This is going to be my E891 - Educational Enquiry - blog (don't know if there are official blogs provided for the course, but I feel like I want to start getting my head organised now). I'm studying this course to finish off my MA ODE and also as part of my MEd. I hope to survive it! I hope to be more organised than I normally am (not least because I'm juggling it with H806 - Learning in the Connected Economy) and my time management is something which I constantly say I'm going to sort out and never do. So, here I am. Early. Waiting for the first sniff of some course material ready for October and in the meantime messing about with the H806 I can get my paws on.

One thing I think would be useful is to record what I hope to get from the course. Here goes:

Complete the MA ODE (already said this bit!)
Work towards MEd (ditto!)
Understand the nature of educational enquiry
Learn more about analysing ideas and not just generating lots of random ones!
Start to understand what might be required in an educational research project
Learn how to review literature in a structure way
Patch up some of the holes in my knowledge of education / my own learning
Enjoyment of learning!
A challenge!
Did I mention that MA? :o)

Educational Enquiry... here I come!
