After recently watching the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma (Director Jeff Orlowski, 2020), recommended to us by our course leader. I found myself shocked by the statistics and ethnical discussions involved within social media, and how some of the founders of the social media industry are scared of what they have helped discover and make. Working along with vulnerable childr en and teenagers, a large majority involved with "healthy young minds" safety online is a key emphasis on my practice and there are a number of tactics we have in place to help limit the amount of online access they have. Including; an E-safety award. Meaning they are unable to use any form of internet in school without the award, including personal mobile phones. Screen watch, allowing teachers and teaching assistants to see exactly what the student is on, to name a few. The a mount of SEN children who struggle with their mental health is already high. They are more "likely to experience me

After my conversations this past weeks with both Helen and Adesola. I have realised I need to look at myself, not changing my practice but broadening it. Something that lot of artists have had to do during the pandemic.  Helen suggested that I should create a map of my practice now. I have found this really mind opening, since I am focusing on such different people and work environment its nice to have it down on one place. So I can focus on myself and my practice and not other work colleagues places in work as well. I am sure I will find more things in conjunction to my practice as I continue but right now I have a mind map of the things I am currently doing in in my job Using this I can keep referring back to it and re-evaluating where and what I am doing with my module 2 proposal.

I was involved in the welcome skype on Saturday at 3pm. It was mix of new and old students and was nice to get to talk to everyone again and get back into the way of thinking for the BAPP. We first had a little run through and reminder on where to find everything we need on UniHub. This was really good for me as I almost had forgotten how much additional information is there. Especially now I am heading further into the course and going to be using yet more resources.  We talked about to think of the support for this course like 3 pillars.     Firstly the UniHub. Where once we are on the page, we can find any additional information that we need, through clicking on the dropdown sections that are there.  Secondly, using the BAPP community. This I did fairly often last module and found it very useful and supportive. The course has a Facebook page we can ask each other questions, advice and anything else we want to know. Last module I also had a skype with a few other students in my modul
