Second-hand (as opposed to new!)
« on: March 02, 2014, 06:44:32 am »
Hi everyone
I am not technically new to the TM forum, but I am taking a new approach to the forum ... all will be revealed below ...
I have been on the forum for a while, but haven't taken an active role. I have used a number of the recipes and have been amazed at the incredible generosity of spirit evident on the forum, and the willingness to share. I have been more of an observer than anything else.
However, that is about to change ... I have gone back to uni this year (eek - haven't done any studying for nearly 20 years, but that's another story), and one of the courses that I am doing as part of my degree is called 'e-learning'. As part of our learning for the course, we need to join an e-community, or what is referred to as a 'learning community'. We are supposed to participate in the community, learn from our participation, and then reflect on our experience. So I have chosen the TM forum as my learning community.
I may even pose some questions at some point to get a sense of how people experience this forum as a 'learning community'. :)
'Re-joining' the forum has renewed my energy around consulting the forum daily and also participating in the forum.
So to start, I have planned my week of meals, using my TM primarily, and hope to post some feedback about what I made and how it turned out.
Btw, I live in Sydney and I LOVE my thermomix. It has revolutionised my cooking and my life, and I know I sometimes get a bit annoying because I can't stop telling people how wonderful it is!
Bye for now, and thanks in anticipation for all the LEARNING,
Buzzbee

This sounds interesting buzzbee. Would you class the forum as an e learning place? I guess we do learn from here. It could be fun. What degree are you doing?

Nice to see you taking an active part now buzzbee, I'm sure any questions you ask will soon be answered.  We're a very keen group of people here.  Good luck with your return to uni.

So not really a time waster buzzbee but an education.  I feel better spending lots of time here now.
Good luck and enjoy

Never considered this forum a time waster! I have learned so much here and now as I learn from my studies, I feel I also give back.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

BB,  that sounds great.  Things have certainly moved on since I was at Uni.   This is definitely a sharing/ learning community.
