For this reflection, I decided to take on a very visual approach. Initially, I wanted to write an imaginative story, but I also wanted to try something new. I decided that instead of a story, I would show everyone how I think. I use a program called FreeMind which helps me visually outline my thoughts. By making concept maps, I can see relationships that keep everything hierarchically organized. After I finished an outline on a comparison of visual learning to other learning styles, I felt that it wasn’t enough for a reflection and so I made a small comic. Though I appreciate visual learning, I am not a great artist. I hope my stick figures are acceptable.
A visual approach
Finished?
The course is now officially "finished." Your final grades are posted, your projects are completed, and the semester is done.
But is the course ever really finished? Ideally, we continue to learn, we continue to think, we continue to connect to the ideas we've had here. And this course (maybe unlike others) will remain open, available, ready for you to look back, to add, to modify, to comment, as you move into your futures.
It has been a great pleasure for me to work with all of you this semester, and I want to (expect to) continue to hear from all of you as your thinking and learning progress--inside the classroom and outside.
Hot jets and safe landings to you all!
When and Where Now?
Today is
The course is over--but the learning is not!
