Global Ed.
So, I've been reminded that I need to do reflections for my Global Ed. class (CUST424). This will be one of my last classes for my program. Even though we only have to hand-in five of the reflections, we are expected to do them every day (but I doubt anyone's doing that). However, today was quite interesting, so I thought I'd note it down.
We talked about vertical and horizontal ways of teaching/learning. I don't have the article on hand so I can't reference to it right now. I'll get the article from a friend tomorrow. But the whole thing was quite interesting. My group debated on whether the vertical structure is as necessary as we seem to believe (where you have to learn the basics before building up) or whether we can learn in a more cross-curricular/no need for basics sort of deal. I think that at times (with certain subjects) we do; but the others thought that maybe it's not necessary at all. We kind of went back and forth on this with no real concensus... although we did say that both the horizontal and vertical should work hand-in-hand for people's learning to be the best.
