Last week I think my work habits were okay. On the plus side I was able to manage all the PBL work but on the delta side I did no writing on my dissertation. It is hard to not have any space in the day to plan because then what happens is we end up planning all evening long which was previusly my writing time. On the plus side again I am collecting some good data on PBL for both OH Institute and my dissertation.
I think that I got distracted from my writing because I am having to pay so much attention to the structured PBL. No longer are the students in the driver's seat but rather we, the facilitators, are in the driver's seat. As Harry Wong would say, "Who is doing the work here?" The answer is the facilitators. The next question becomes, "Who is doing the learning?" The answer would most likely be both in this instance. However, the learning is highly facilitator directed.
This week what I plan to do differently is carve out some time for writing. I have set aside time starting on Thursday and I plan to stick to it.
