Much like the nursery rhyme, I feel like one of Mary’s lost sheep. When we talk about culture and the role it plays with education, I honestly have to say that guidance from our teachers would be part of my culture. I am not sure what has happened to Dr. Lowell (if you are out there in the cyber world and can read me…) but I am not receiving much guidance as to where he wants us to go with this class. I also am having difficulty with the information provided in the text and quite sure how to respond to some of the concepts. I have tried to make a few statements in previous blogs but I am not receiving much feed back. I really miss Dr. Lowell’s intellectual comments regarding the world of technology, education, etc. and I like to think about the comments made because it helps me to develop my own perspective on topics I didn’t know was out there. One of the biggest downfall to being an educator, parent, student, etc. is the lack of time I have to research new concepts on my own. I really depend on my college classes for this type of guidance!

see Lowell’s comments on my last post. http://adelliott08.wordpress.com/2008/03/09/structure-and-culture/
Tippi’s comments as well were very insightful. I, too, am feeling lost, but now that Lowell has responded, I get it. May not have the time to do it on my own, but I do get it. Hope this slight direction helps

There are so many aspects to our field of study that have no right or wrong answers. Some are merely opinion and others just can’t be nailed down to one solution. Lowell believes that if we are questioning what is before us then we are open to learning. Learning ceases when we stop asking ‘Why’. I am learning to stop accepting the ’status quo’. I am also learning to think the unheard of thoughts and ask the unheard of questions. I like to argue(sorry debate) about stuff anyway so this fits right in for me. I enjoy tossing ideas around just to hear the perspective of others, even if I don’t get an answer. This may not give you any solice, but know that if you are writing you are thinking and that’s all you gotta do.
