One thing that I have learned is that I have not spent much time verbalizing these experiences and that it is not easy to do. Second, I have realized that over the pandemic, it has been a huge shift. At first, I tried to recreate these learning environments virtually. Over time and especially during my MALAT journey, I have realized that I don&#8217;t have to and in fact it is more beneficial when I don&#8217;t. A lot of my decisions have been implicit and make use of tacit beliefs. After much reflection, I have realized that I take an iterative approach to design and learning. I feel I enjoy working like this and that there is always another layer to peel and reveal something new I can improve upon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do have two questions to pose. First, what can I do to better reflect and truly observe my own work without bias and have a better objective view? Is that possible? I feel the older I get and the more experience I have, the more my past experiences colour the present. I want to remain open and flexible. I sometimes feel I am less flexible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/malat-webspace.royalroads.ca\/rru0223\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/217\/2022\/08\/thumbnail_IMG-0019-1024x1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-678 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/1000;\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a teacher of over 20 years, I feel that I have been facilitating for quite some time.
