After reading the two papers I don't feel like they are going to help me to decide on a topic for my paper, but I think they did give examples of how our education narrative should look and "feel" when we are finished. I guess as far as "A model for our first paper" these narratives could be useful to me. In "How I Learned to Program Computers" Feross used a lot of examples and illustrations to show his progress as he learned more and more about programming. I can do the same thing in my narrative to illustrate how I progressed as I learned whatever it is I decide to write about.
I didn't find "How I Learned to Live Google Free" very helpful, but that might just be because I had pretty much already figured out what I wanted to write my paper on before I read it. I'm most likely going to write about my time so far as a Firefighter, mainly focusing on the Fire Academy. I want to focus on the academy because it was one of the hardest, but most rewarding things I have ever done.
This blogging thing is going to take some getting used to...
o.k., yes--two very different ed narratives. Good observations and ideas about models for your own!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way you do. I'm sure we will both come up with something soon! I think writing about your time as a firefighter will be a great idea :)
