5c

In the beginning of the class, we all came together and shared out philosophical ideas about Mr. Freire, and that led us into other discussions and ideas about how he would have done things, or at least would have liked to have seen them done. Now with the two books that we have read, and the amount of Critical reflection that has gone on with blogging about each others learning’s, I feel confident in saying that I have learned a lot from this class; Not only about Mr. Freire and the books that we’ve read, but about how to observe and reflect on a classmates work to add to their ideas, and make it my own.

Like I mentioned above, reading my classmates work, and their reflection makes me think deeper, and harder about what I had read, and make me see it in a different light. Most times I find that I have missed numerous things, both big and small that I would have never know had I not read their ideas, and comments.

Group learning is so much better than individual busy book work,. Its real world, progressive, and you actually learn something rather than just go through the motions. I think Mr. Freire would have thoroughly enjoyed this course, and its special style, not to mention all the information it had to offer.

This is my first semester with online classes. It has been a surprisingly pleasant experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all my peers’ work and thoughts and connecting with them on a deeper leave, getting into their heads if you will, and I hope to have these same experiences this summer. I have enrolled in two more online classes for summer semester, to help further myself along for transfer.
