Post #2: A-5 reflection

"My grandfather will be ninety years old in March. He is by far the wisest and most intelligent person that I know. One very valuable lesson that he has taught me is that learning is not limited to the classroom. A person learns in everything she does, every place she goes, and from every person she meets. Given this powerful information, I have chosen for this assignment five events that I believe helped to define me as a person and have contributed significantly to my educational growth. The interesting thing about each of these events is the fact that not a single one has taken place in a classroom."

The above paragraph is an excerpt from A-5, my reflection on the digital mapping activity that our class completed. First, we had to create a map in Microsoft Word. Then, we had to create a map related to our learning experiences in a software called Inspiration. I detailed various experiences in my life that I felt were important to my learning experience. At the end, I got to compare and contrast Inspiration and Word. I enjoyed this assignment because it asked me to reflect on moments in my life that I felt were important. I kind of wish that I was able to share the powerpoints we created towards the end of the project, as I was quite proud of everything that I had done!
