Which idea/claim discussed in the article did you find most interesting? 36: 37: Education in the second life was pretty interesting to me. When we consider 38: 39: 40: 41: second life, we tend to think it as an entertainment. And I think many people 42: 43: 44: 45: do it for fun. I used to play lots of quiz games when I was in middle school. 46: 47: 48: 49: Even though they were not really school relevant knowledge, I actually gained 50: 51: 52: 53: lots of knowledge playing the game. I wasn't trying to learn any of those, 54: 55: 56: 57: but I gained with fun. If second life can somehow joint the education really 58: 59: 60: 61: well, that will help lots of kids to get more attention on education. 62: 63: 64: 65: 2. With which idea/claim do you disagree the most? 66: 67: I generally liked the all the ideas. 68: 69: 70: 71: 3. What learning style did you choose for purposes of this assignment? 72: 73: 74: 75: 4. What percentage of your overall educational experience is "Learning 76: 77: 78: 79: About"? 80: 81: Around 85% of my overall educational experience was learning about. I 82: 83: 84: 85: learned because I had to because of social pressure (mandatory education) 86: 87: 88: 89: 5. What are the strengths of "learning about" from your experience? 90: 91: For the most of cases, it is hard for kids to get motivated to study. "Learning about" helps people to get basic knowlege, and it may cause people to get some interests and people may start to do "learning to be" from then. 92: 93: 94: 95: 6. What are the weaknesses of "learning about" from your experience? 96: 97: There may be some areas that the learner doesn't need at all in their life. And they may think it is a waste of time, and it may affect learners to lose interests on education. 98: 99: 100: 101: 7. What percentage of your overall educational experience is "Learning to be"? 102: 103: 15% of my overall educational experience was learning to be. 104: 105: 106: 107: 8. What are the strengts of "learning to be" from your experience? 108: 109: Since learner participate more on the learning, it motivates learner more on studying also more efficient. 110: 111: 112: 113: 9. What are the weaknesses of "learning to be" from your experience? 114: 115: Since learning to be is limitted on specific area, they may encounter specific methods. And they may think they are the only methods which will limit their thinking. 116: 117: 118: 119: 10. Do you agree or disagree with the following claim: “everyone is interested in something and feels passionate about it.” 120: 121: Yes I agree. People often times do not recognize what are they, but they will find it sooner or later. 122: 123: 124: 125: ~11. Name something that YOU are personally interested in and feel passionate about. 126: 127: Playing video game 128: 129: 130: 131: 12. Is the following statement true for YOUR passion: “for any topic that a student is passionate about, there is likely to be an online niche community of practice of others who share that passion.” 132: 133: Yes, there are tons of gaming websites, and also the guild or clan websites help people get more information on the game. 134: 135: ((( 136: ---- 137: ))) 138: 139: LEON GIBSON 140: 141: 142: 143: 144: 145: 1.

I do agree that students actively engaged in learning may expand their knowledge and research to these pools of students, but I don't think that each student is truly enriching the education of up to six friends. Social networks are meant to stay social, and the claim that each student at Ann Arbor takes their education to their social network seems like more of associate provost trying to gain visibility than a true study of social network usage. The number of people that 40,000 students educate during their time at Michigan would most likely not even cross 60,000. But even my number is a “guesstimate” which is what John King likely performed. 162: ))) 163: 1.

The model that professors in brick and mortar schools have to use is that of teaching us the knowledge needed to pass the class while providing a project or more that challenge what we learn and give us an opportunity to apply the knowledge. This technique mirrors that of the initial stages of “Learning to Be.” 175: ))) 176: 1.

In my opinion the student is able to learn more of the theory and the rigor of the problem. This initial knowledge is valuable in creating the stepping stones to get out of the “Learning About” and into the “Learning to be” as it is impossible to step into the “Learning to be” without first traversing part of the “Learning about”...how much you learn about is objective. 184: ))) 185: 1.

In the world we live in today knowledge is at our fingertips immediately.

These three areas have authoritative individuals that know more about the tools, processes, and domains than I will ever know. I have to quickly learn while I apply this knowledge.

Using second life as a classroom envirnment is interesting 306: 1. I disagree most with their claim that we live in such pased times. Everybody says that. I remember freshman year when my teacher said that nothing taught in the course would be relevent. Yet my dad can still help me out on computer assignments. Obviosly some things change, but a lot of basics stay the same. Just look at any two programming languages. Yes they are different, but people who use another programming language can pick it up really fast because at a basic level, they are the same. 307: 1. What learning style did you choose for purposes of this assignment? 308: 1. What percentage of your overall educational experience is "Learning About"? 60-100%. There really is no clear line. I have not done an internship nor do I have job experience, nor have I observed someone in the same field doing their job, so from that 100% of my education has been "learning about". However, if someone put me in a room and said, "program a game for me", would I be sitting there staring at the wall wondering how to program a game? No, in fact I have created a game for an assignment. I have also learned a good deal about physics and astronomy that I could use in programming the game. My point is in "learning about", you are also "learning to be". 309: 1. What are the strengths of "learning about" from your experience?
