If you could time travel back to when you graduated and you were assigned to orientate your past self to your profession, how would you do it? What would you say? What kind(s) of learning theories and models would apply knowing what you know now?
Activity Three
Locate an image, cartoon or quote that represents transition to practice in your experience. Explain the meaning behind the media you selected and relate this to what you have learnt through this critical forum.
