It is strong and patient and can carry loads and weights, it does not matter how heavy they are and this is what really we need in order to face our demanding and challenging life.This picture might describe me in terms of focusing on one target ... Maybe I'm relaxing or having a good time but it doesn't mean that I don't have a target in my life ...Wedding dress also has another meaning that can stand for my character, that is always keeping hope. Hope is the personality trait that makes a human be a true human. I am always trying to look for the whole image, like birds having a wider image from the sky Confident, birds do not care if somebody is watching them, they always try to do what they have to do I never limit my potential or abilities, just like birds I spread my wings ...

independent & critical thinking

multimodal

numerous modes participate in meaning-making processes, of which language is but one

modes have equal potential to orchestrate meaning and the participating modes should be attended to in equal measure while producing or consuming a communicative artefact

Kress and van Leeuwen (2001)

visual practices

For example, TED programme, personally, help me to understand most of main idea because, I can hear and watch the person who talks in the same time. Also, he/she uses body language which helps me to understand the topic clearly.Creative and visual research help people to communicate different types of data. Metaphor can be powerful in research [of] intangible concepts such as happiness, hate, shame.I strongly think that seeing things purifies beliefs. The meaning of the Visual Culture is studying or learning by using visual sources such as video and some pictures. It is important to us to use them because we can understand more and some of the information needs to use our senses to understand, because when you use more senses you will understand more and that's what the visual culture offers to us.

ethical awareness

reflection

reflective practice

Reflection is like your feedback. But it goes deeper than feedback it includes deep thinking, special opinions which add to your own experiences. It is also an opportunity to improve your knowledge and a way to get clarity outside of the moment. When you express your thoughts and what you have learned in context and spent time to think about it from different angles

developing as a digital academic

developing a digital academic

e-modelling [] powerful, offering opportunities for attention, retention, reproduction and motivation to learn vicariously [] helpful for learners, particularly non-traditional students [] on the assumption that the teacher is prepared to appear open and perhaps vulnerable in class [] What they are there to demonstrate is a valuing of learning processes, rather than a valuing of content.
