Essay
I can say with absolute confidence that my ways of learning and my perspective on a wide range of things has change because of open source learning. Before I was so focus on shutting out and sort of learning because I found it boring and trivial. But once I was introduced to new ways of learning and relations through different mediums my academic work ethic skyrocketed with more effort and purpose. My reading, writing, and thinking skills have improved as well for it was much easier to put one-hundred percent effort into an these areas when they involved something I was either passionate about or instructed in. Through open source learning I have a new perspective on learning, A mentor I can always contact along with my network, and a step in the right direction.
In the first couple of weeks Dr. Preston introduced remixing which was a process of taking a subject and give meaning or explain that subject through any means. This essential opened the door to how I could use open source learning to my advantage. This opened a lot of our eyes to how the mind works, how a system of learning was built upon, and how to adhere toward which ever method is best or most efficient for you.
I not only do I have an amazing teacher with a background of learning and adventures that could blow you're mind, I have a friend. Dr. Preston truly believes in learning, with passion and confidence to boost he easily inspires those seeking the help because modern day learning rituals are demanding and rationalized.
Now that I have been involved with open source learning for a couple of years, I can say with out a bout that open source learning really allows kids to take a step in the right direction. The main thing is that the student must adapt and see the possibility, They must want to learn(not the clique version.) I have seen a lot of my classmates begin something major in their lives, wether it be in baby steps or big leaps the foot prints are embedded and the construction just crew ran out of concrete(metaphor).
All in all this has been an amazing year. Thank you Dr. Preston for pushing me and guiding me in a path I was more than qualified to take. Thank you classmates for all your efforts and ideas shared throughout the years. I would like to wish everyone the best of luck and if there is anything I would want everyone to keep in mind every day, is to Never lose sight on something you really want.
