Face to Face Jabberwocky

Well not necessarily, Today in my computer application for education class with did face to face evaluation of our Zooburst books. When we evaluate online there is not a face to pair with the commentary, therefore you feel comfortable expressing ideas  and hearing what the other person has to say. But when you evaluate face to face a fear develops and  develops a monster what we will call a Jabberwocky when dealing with face to face confrontation. There is a sense of "Oh god what will they think?" that correlates with the facial expression of disappointment if your presentation is not up to par. Slowly this feeling melts away with a tool called acceptation. This is our Vorpal blade against the Jabberwock or our fear. The discussion becomes a comfortable safe environment to express ideas with few limitations as the fear dies and withers away. Then all is safe in your wonderland.

Mutiple Intelligences

Today in class we studied multiple intelligences. These are different ways that a student might learn. We took a test on our own My highest scores were INTERPERSONAL(People Knowledge) and INTRAPERSONAL(Self Knowledge). We then had to use a collabrative tool with google docs by putting in all of our scores then creating a graph to show the class. I found it very challenging to create the chart. I wanted to display that Mathematical learners Scores and Musical Scores were complete opposites on most of everyone's scores including mine. After asking the teacher and a few students I was finally able to display my graph. I really enjoyed figuring out how I learn and I will for sure use this test to determine how I might go about conducting my class.
