Notes:
Internet- viral media leads to global sharing of any kinds of ideas with out limitations
- endless possibilities on information
- goes beyond the structure we've known, allows our minds to wonder, if we are allowed to create searches on our own ideas rather than that of which we are structured to think
Discussion- Open discussion allows to continued ideas, leading to new ideas and new thoughts.
- Constant thought, streaming train of thought within multiple minds
- No end to a question only answers, yet no judgement, only learning on a new topic
- The video allowed for constant thought and feed back with out negativity, the idea of "having an open mind" had a whole new meaning in this seminar
Breaking the Mold- Learn in a new way. allow your own thoughts to form on ANY subject.
- Learn what you love and love what you learn because really what else is there?
- Structure in books and deadlines can be a thing of the past if we push our limits
- Stretch minds to strive for new ideas not be forced upon, no matter the subject
- We need self- learning, it has been lost.
- STRUCTURE can either make or break a person, WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT
- Break the mold in a way that matters to you. Learn in a new way and take a chance
**Thoughts: The funny thing about "breaking the mold" is that I hold this idea very dear to me. I hate structured school. I love letting my mind run, but then I find myself in the part of the class that can never bring myself to share my thoughts... Why? I dont know. I always have a lot to say, but it never comes out, or I get nervous then it's too late. So how do I break this mold with in myself to start this new line of thinking? As a matter of fact how do we get EVERYONE to go out on a limb and speak their thoughts. I want to step out of the box and voice my ideas. Im going to try my best, and those who are in the same boat as I am should do the same. I want to be apart of this new "class" we have going here because its everything I could hope for in a class. I just need to find the motivation in myself to finish what I started full tilt.
1. When grades no longer matter it is sort of a make or break point. As I stated above I need to find it in myself to embrace this opportunity, I love socratic seminars and how they work, the next step is just getting involved. This idea of going beyond structure makes life and learning a little more personal, an ideal thought that leaves learning with in the student. I love the idea, I want to embrace, but I have to find that spark to break out of the pack and learn how I want to.
2. The concept I want to be able to focus on in class is just open discussion. I love hearing the conversations on any given topic. I want to be able to listen, learn, question, and contribute. If we go on a discussion about Shakespeare for example and talk about key concepts and points, i'm learning. With in discussion I hear new words used in new ways all the time and then I want to hear more, or ask. While yes I know we never do ask these questions if we hear another student say a word in discusison we don't know, but if we did I feel our knowledge would be phenominal! If we were our own teachers, because just by listening to discussions, I find myself intrigued on how many smart people there are in our class. I want to learn from them. The more we push our limits with talking together the more I feel we will all open up to this idea in the end and we will all benefit greatly in my opinion.
3. Like I said in the last paragraph I feel the idea of talking as a whole, as students, with no limits beside one simple topic to start us off, that is how we will learn the best. In this discussion we should be able to do any research on our phones or anything for new ideas on a topic and literally just share everything we think until everyone realizes that there will be no judgement. No matter what there will be at least one topic that intrigues everyone at some point if we make this a habitual thing.
