This reading comes to terms with researching how you work and what directions you can head with the knowledge that you have gained. It begins with saying that only after you get to know what is on the surface, that you are then able to seek what is underneath. In order to learn and broader our actions, we need to work on widening our sensitivities, in order to start noticing different aspects that are all around us, both professionally and un-professionally.
You need to be able to reflect upon your work, and what you have done in order to move forward. It is all about learning from our experiences. This is something that is more talked about than actually carried out. If we want to learn more and have a greater understanding with anything that we do, we need to be able to reflect.
To notice, you need to learn from the experiences that you have had. Within the reading, it says that noticing is a collection of practices both for living in, and hence learning from, experience, and for informing future practice. When you notice you are making a distinction, where you then are creating a foreground and a background, and then distinguishing elements from its surroundings. When you notice or perceive, it provides you with a significant amount of experience, which learning depends on. When you record, you need to have motivation. This element takes more energy than that required to make.
