Reflections on Week 1

"Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't." - Pete Seeger. 

1. Ahh yes the interwebz. A place where one can find solitude from the outside world, assuming of course that one has access to it. And herein lies my potential problem. There are four people, all fighting for either one computer or one laptop, meaning there is a good chance that I will have to wait. And by wait, I mean really wait. Like Duke Neukem Forever or Half-Life 3 wait. (Perhaps if Gabe Newell focused less on hamburgers and his beard, the game could be made.)

3. However, I shouldn't let that deter me from my excitement towards AP English Literature and Composition. This will be a completely new experience, something I'm doubtful many others can brag of. After all, how many teachers do you know who not only allow phone usage during class, but actually encourage it? How many teachers out there use QR codes, and whatever other technology they can find? Ironically, technology is the future yet it's the one area schools are most hesitant to adapt to. Rather, they would pursue more AP classes when instead their students need to be more versed into technology, most notably computers and/or coding. Hopefully, I can expand my knowledge on technology and not look like such a n00b at times.
