1. REFLECTION: By:Gérard C. Filies (ITLU)

3. WHAT IS REFLECTION: • “…is an active process of witnessing one’s own experience in order to take a closer look at it, sometimes to direct attention to it briefly, but often to explore it in greater depth. This can be done in the midst of an activity or as an activity in itself. The key to reflection is learning how to take a perspective on one’s own actions and experience—in other words, to examine that experience rather than just living it.” (Ref: mhofer.tie.wikispaces.net/file/view/What+is+reflection.doc)

5. REFLECTIVE LEARNING: • “Reflective learning is engaging in reflection for the explicit goal of producing learning out of the process. It is the central tool for deriving knowledge formed through the experience of doing community work.” (Ref: mhofer.tie.wikispaces.net/file/view/What+is+reflection.doc)

6. REFLECTION EXERCISE: Genie in a Bottle • If you found a bottle that had a Genie inside it who would grant you 3 wishes, what would you wish for? • With your own power, what could you do to make these wishes come true? How would you use these 3 wishes to leave your community and the world a better place? How might you use your gifts and talents to help make these changes a reality?
