Available for website, app iOS/Android and M2 device

M2 offers multiple customization options to quickly and easily configure a reflection that's meaningful for learners. You can customize a reflection either at mirrortalk.ai or on the M2 itself. Simply select the group that will reflect and click on the "" - "New". 

With each new reflection, there are three main elements to consider: 

1. What's your objective of this reflection?

Recording or writing an objective gives M2 the ability to automatically align reflection prompts around your objective.

To record one, just hit "Record" and say your class objective. This can be an 'I-can-statement' or anything else that helps learners understand what the experience should help them learn. Objectives recorded via voice will be heard during the reflection assignment, resulting in a personalized experience.

If you'd like to write it instead, just hit "Write."

Once you have an objective captured, watch how the prompts regenerate to be in line with your objective to save you time. Do you want to do more advanced customization of the reflection experience for learners?

Let's dive in.

Customize Reflection

To customize the reflection you can adjust the following settings.

Choose Format: When selecting a format, you have the option to choose between Personalized, Prescribed, or Manual. The Personalized format adapts questions according to the first response (and objective if added), offering a customized and more impactful reflection process. Alternatively, the Prescribed format generates all questions automatically, providing the convenience to edit existing prompts or add new ones as needed. The Manual format allows you to write down the questions yourself. Read more about Format here.

Focus: Switch to a different focus when you want to quickly adjust the overall focus of the reflection. Prompts automatically update the second you switch them. Read more about Focus here.

Ask a next step question: Challenge learners to talk about their next steps whenever you feel it's appropriate.

Pre-reflection Workspace

Check the box to enable an interactive learning experience that is delivered to learners before the reflection. You can add up to five instructional steps using M2's tools like the Whiteboard or the Timer. Learn more about Workspaces here. 

Organize all of your reflections with Labels

Now, you can add a label so that you can easily find a reflection when you need to. 

While in the reflection customize popup, just hit + Add label at the top right, enter your new label name and then hit the checkmark. When you're back in your library, just select your new label to see its associated reflections.

Share my personal card to group:

You can also share your personal reflection with a group, but only with adult groups. All the information available to a person is also accessible to the coach. It is possible to unshare the reflection at any time. Only the coach can see the card, not other participants. Higher education professors can share their cards with higher education student groups, and higher education students can do the same. Reflections can be shared with individuals only via a weblink on the web.
