I selected the article Talking higher education: Starting a podcast during the pandemic as it related to my program with KSA Foundation which also started during the pandemic.

I particularly liked to see the scope of the different teaching role and method other Pgcert students shared such as the Rhizomatic learning and critical teaching challendging the traditional and hierachy teacher-student for a more learner and peer to peer learning.

The notion of risk and risk taking in education spike my attention as I am too many time confronted on this panic of failure which block the student in their learning journey. To be wrong or not succeded is today a general obsession which unable teacher to also take risk and learn with their students. As a designer I know how precious this trial and error is to create new oppotunity but also to open the road to new perspective and angle on a topic.

This notion of risk taking is something that I have incorporated into the KSA Foundation radio project and how to handle complexity.

I push regulary students to get lost in experimentation but also to learn and to structure a project. How much room can I allow myself to get lost? How much time do I have? I think helping student to identify how to reflect on their failure is important and essential. How to accept requirements of an outcome but also make room for individual responses? To identify the difference between briefs and make the most of the more open ones. To feel confident in self direction while bringing discipline into self exploration by reflecting daily or weekly on it.

I loved the comment/suggestion of one of the cohort on starting the lesson with asking student to come up with their instruction which I have tested and approved with my own students the next day.
