Pushing paper...

I spent the best part of a day sorting through the evidence for my file; it's quite satisfying looking back through all the projects you have worked on and then cross checking that off against the various criteria listed in the assessment sheet.

Apart from being at school, it's rare that you are asked to find evidence of accomplishing a task, so thinking about what you have worked on, the purpose of the task and the outcome, including lessons learnt, is an interesting exercise.

In the adult working world, it seems that a lot of time is spent on planning and delivering, but very little on evaluating; checking, challenging and evolving. This is usually the most important part, yet the most overlooked, as we end up moving onto the next task as soon as a project is up and running.

Thankfully, the information that I collated compiled of several projects that are still 'live' and very much evolving, which was reassuring! The contents consists of various mediums; printed documents, hard copy resources, publications, video clips and online blogs like this, which demonstrates the variety of different mediums we communicate across.

As a result of this exercise I will certainly look to stay with a project for the evaluation stage to make sure I follow through and learn any valuable lessons. I will also look to expand on the range of communication and not stick with what I know!
