#REFLECTIONS ON WEEK 1#

Are there any factors that you think are going to affect your participation or experience in this class? Access to a computer? Mobile/smart phone? Transportation? Friends/family? Schedule?
- So far I don't see any factors that could affect participation besides the fact that I'd like to get out at lunch, but if I do get it changed I'll just move into 5th period and it should be fine. I have plenty access to a computer but my internet connection is pretty bad which could be a problem. I have a smartphone with the blogger app installed so that works fine. I also have my own car and license. So for the most part I'm as available for it as I am any other class.

 Think of an awesome best ever learning experience that changed you. What did you learn? Where were you? What happened? Who else was there? Did it teach you anything about how you learn (or pay attention... or remember, or think?) How did you know what was happening? 
- I'd have to say as far as schooling goes, Mrs. Byrne's AP English class was probably the first (non-elective) class I really enjoyed. But as for learning experiences in general, it's impossible to choose one moment of any time. Every single day/hour/minute we're learning more and more about ourselves and the world around us. My mind changes constantly. Life is a learning experience.

 What are you most [excited/concerned] about in this class? What do you look forward to in learning? How do you think it can/will make a practical difference in your life?
-I'm most excited about having a total change of pace in the way schooling works, as the norm gets very, very boring. The idea of using the internet for most of it is also really interesting to me, as it's usually demonized by normal classes. I'm most concerned about keeping up with some of the bigger assignments, and the AP exam. But so far it seems like a class I'd prioritize over others, so with that in mind, I guess my current schedule is the most that concerns me because when I am hired for a weekday job I'd like to get as many hours in as possible, so getting out at lunch would be great.
