First Skype of the semester
 It officialy started! I am feeling both nervous and excited. Adesola showed us -through sharing her screen- how to search on myUnihub. It was definitely helpful for the Module ones and I wished I had that experience last year because it was very difficult to discover things on my own. 
This Skype signifies the beginning of a new module, the last one for this MA. I am nervous thinking all the things I have to do, the time pressure and the observation part (of my students). It will not be easy to be the observer and the teacher at the same time. I have to reconsider and revaluate the ideas I want to explore in my inquiry because-as Helen noticed- the amount of time offered is not as much as I thought. I am trying to answer back on the feedback (Helen has sent me) right now. 
Although I am feeling nervous, I am feeling excited too. Module 3 signifies the end of a journey and maybe the step in order to go further with my studies. I am ready to delve into this inquiry and experience the new journey of Module 3!☺

Sunday skype meeting   On Sunday I participated in both skype meetings am and pm. On the first skype meeting, it was only Hannah, Katya and me who participated. This gave us extra time to talk about our inquiries (Hannah and me) and AOL's (for Katya). It was all about communicating our ideas and thoughts. Personally, I found it very difficult. I think that I rambled a lot. Plus the comments I received from Adesola and Maria indicated that this rambling was not for good and certainly there was a lot of incomprehension, as I did not explain my inquiry theme well. It is true that I come from a different country and my mother tongue is Greek but right now  I have come to a point in my life that I speak three languages (Greek, English and French) at the same time (due to my seasonal work). However, it was difficult for me to speak English fluently and coherently at that moment.  And then I realised that the problem was not that I was not able to structure a sentence in English (daah!)

1st Skype meeting of the month Yesterday morning we had a very enlightening discussion about four main subjects: Multiple professional identities in dance, mental health and psychology for those who work in the dance field, flavor-technique and discipline inside the classroom. The multiple professional identities in dance are the subject that I brought up. I was really amazed to see that some of the participants had the experience of transition from one identity to another (dancer to teacher). During the discussion, one said that being a dancer is "all abouτ you", correcting your own body and learning; on the other hand, the teacher pays attention to others, does not receive any feedback and sometimes he/she maybe feel lonely through this reflective process of transfering knowledge to others. Concluding, being a dancer is a self-center identity while being a teacher is put into the center the others and what the other need. From all the subjects that we analyzed yesterda

1st Skype meeting for module 2 La st Friday we had our first skype meeting for module 2. In this skype meeting, there were people from module 1, 2 and 3. Each one expressed his/her opinion and feelings for the previous module(s). It was a "what to expect" discussion as each one gave his/her tips to others in terms of work load, time-management etc. For sure, it was positive and reliefing to hear that others have experienced the same feelings or they had the same thoughts as I have. This discussion led me to think the term "knowledge" and "how we gain knowledge". According to Collins Cobuild English Dictionary, "knowledge is information and understanding about a subject which a person has, or which people have". During the first module, we approached knowledge and understanding through the form of previous personal experiences and reflection. In fact, we tried to analyze and evaluate each experience and understand which aspects of the exp
