Reflexive journal

The following journal entries are reflections about the Storyboard project.

The journal entries from June 2008 to May 2011 were fairly informal in nature and often contained anecdotes as I had not entered into the rhythm of making daily journal entries. From June 2011 my approach to this journal changed in the following ways:

I made journal entries each and every day.
During the data collection phase between June 2011 and December 2011, all journal entries remained off-line. Starting in January 2011 each month remained off-line until the end of that month. At the end of each month I proofread the entries before uploading them.
I now use it as a Reflexive journal. 'Although reflection influenced the development of reflexive practice, there are profound differences. Reflexivity is pro active as its focus is on providing practitioners with a tool that will simultaneously improve their communication and help make them aware of assumptions and priorities that shape their interaction with others.' (Darling 1998, Paragraph 6)
