Narrative Learning

This blog was created as part of a class project while working on a masters degree in Adult Education. We are currently reading Learning in Adulthood by Merriam, Cafferella and Baumgartner. The chapter that prompted me to create this Blog is Chapter 8: Embodied, Spirtitual and Narrative Learning.

This blog represents a type of narrative learning in that when I write down what I have learned in this blog. This enables me to reflect on what I have learned and internalize the content. A bonus is feedback from readers of the blog which supports collaborative learning. Journaling about myself or what I have learned is considered narrative learning.

As part of this unit, I will be asking class members to start a blog or share a link to a blog they already are working on.
