Socratic Seminar

  I didn't speak today in class because some of my ideas were said and I didn't want to repeat them, but I was also too shy to speak up. I agree with The Right to Your own opinion, like Dr. Preston said, "We all have that little voice in the back out our head like which is our opinion." If you have an opinion you are willing to argue about you better have reasoning to explain why, but should also have an open mind and listen to what they have to say. If you won't even want to listen to what they have to say then you just seem stubborn because if they have reasoning to their opinion and you don't then their opinion seems more accurate. If I were ever planning on getting into an argument to prove my opinion is better, then I would want resoning to back it up, some of you may not agree but that is my opinion.

Reflections on Week 1

   I do not have any problems having to do with technology, I have a Smartphone to go on my blog or look up stuff for class and a computer at both of my parent's houses. I drive myself to school so transportation isn't a problem either.
   The best learning experience I have ever had was in 7th grade. During that time I decided to stop trying in school. I thought studying was a waste of time and I hated it. The truth is, it wasn't affecting anyone but me. I was going to have to retake those classes again if I didn't pass and I would also be getting in trouble with my parents. I learned that education is very important because we will need it later on in life and when we choose to stop caring it doesn't hurt anybody elses grade but mine!
   I am excited to take this class because it seems very different compared to any other class, in a good way though it is more interactive and a very fun way to learn. Project Infinity is a brilliant idea it makes us want to do things to help out our classmates but at the same time be competitive to be first place on the leader board. This class will help us all out in the long run because it helps us become more familiar with technology and teaches us ways to use it for educational purposes not just social activities.

Assignment #1

   I am taking this course because it seems interesting. The first week has ended already and it seems like we have done a lot for the first week, it kind of made me want to switch out but then I would be "stupid". I have what it takes to get through this class with a good grade I just need to apply myself more and actually get into it, not just do it because I have to! This class seems like it will be fun to do because it is very different from everything else I have taken, but it also seems a bit harder at the same time but I am going to take that challenge. My goal for this class is to get a good grade but also enjoy what I'm doing at the same time. I will benefit from this class because the stuff we will be doing is going to challenge me and actually make me have to think (put in the work).
