A Whole New Mind

I absolutely thought your lesson was amazing. It was nice that you provided some information about what it was you wanted us to learn and then you allowed us to participate in an activity to reinforce the information. Great way to engage us in active learning, which increases the amount of information that we are actually retaining. I like your explanation about the negative space, although I didn't really understand what the point of it was until Sara W. explained it to me. This is funny, because it just reinforces the fact that that most of the time I don't think outside of the box, which I feel a lot of people don't these days. But, the fact is that the world we are in is changing and that we really do need to do more thinking outside of the box. So that fact that I didn't get it was a good reinforcer for me to actually try a little harder in that aspect of my life. I love your presentation because it discusses the important idea that again the world is changing and we need to be able to teach our students how to adapt to this new world, and we have to do so through the ideas you discussed in your lesson. Also, it was a good lesson for me because it made me wonder about how I can make things have more meaning in my life. That is a good thing because a little bit of self reflection goes a long way in the learning process. Nice job guys. (Now that I've pretty much shared my life story with you in this blog.)
