PLN 8

                  In David Warlick’s “Power of Community” he is completely right about allowing different generations to see other generation’s thoughts and views which may give them a different perspective. Think of all the things that you think about or have a strong opinion about. You might try to put yourself in a different perspective but if you feel strongly about something you subconsciously shoot down your own arguments. But when you read somebody else’s argument or argue with them and you can’t shoot it down verbally, then you actually think about it. The only way that it doesn’t work is if somebody is dismissing everybody else’s argument or not willing to listening. Even if the person is right, other people are so pissed that their opinion is not being heard that they will not seriously consider the other's point of view. This affects education because if all the students got  to see many different opinions on a subject maybe students would more readily see different points of view when reading or hearing something. The world could advance from this because no argument would ever be looked in only one way. This affects me because I will be able to perceive things from many points of view not just one or two. I think that in David Warlick’s “Power of Community” he is completely right about communities and classes sharing their views in order to learn from each other.

  1. Nice work Jon- watch your word choice with words like "pissed." Find a better vocab word that will illustrate that sentiment. Also, make sure to hyperlink your entry to its original source. Good work.
