Simple is becoming more and more underrated. What is now considered simple to most of America is more of an "art form" than a way of living. Just turning on the television and watching a commercial can tell you that. On Monday we were to bring in 10 simple images. From what I heard (I was not able to attend class) we were to describe these simple images in one or more words.
On the second day, we were to pick on of our photos and change it's meaning by saying phrase or word. I brought in this picture from a magazine (as seen left). The words I used were: Pleasure, Denial, Escape, Dirty Little Secrets, Uncertainty, Dying, Unseen Dreams, Trembling, Constraint, Discomfort, and Relief. Jimmy seemed to like my set of words, but truth be told that hearing my classmate's go first definitely helped when my turn came around.
We then went to another room to watch a video of Ken Robinson. A few points of interest that stood out to me:
*Just because you're good at something isn't an excuse to do it.
*A college degree in the 70's is not the same as a college degree now.
*Digital Natives vs. Digital Immigrants (old vs. young)
*We are not divergent thinkers
