Education is one of those few topics that everyone has an opinion about. For nearly all of us, we spend most of our entire childhood in an educational institution. For many of us, we spend the first quarter of our lives in it. Some of us never leave!
But the point is, we know what works well and what doesn't. At times education is exhilarating and in others, it is excruciating. Many of us fight to get in to the school or in to the class of our choice. Others wonder why we need to go to school at all, especially now when all of the knowledge of the world is so easily accessible online and on countless platforms.For this first journal entry, I ask you to reflect on what makes an experience truly educational. It may be something that happens within the institution (the school, the university), or it may be something that happens more generally. If you have any personal anecdotes to illustrate your point, please share!
Remember to include your ID# in your post. I look forward to reading your thoughts. Aj. M
