Socratic Seminar

Discussion notes:
-internet brings unity
-allows creation of extraordinary things, you are not alone
-ask questions and learn through discussion
-the answer is only the beginning of discovery, it opens doors for different perspectives
-openminded and nonjudgemental
-wanted mentor groups then complained, killed freeplay because of habitual actions
-don't feel doubtful, just try
-things that you love become work and require sacrifice
-live in constant moments
-what do you cater enough about yo try, even though you may fail?
-create a positive mindset

As grades begin to no longer matter, what becomes important is real life experience. The more efficiently we can problem solve, work with others, and be creative, the more successful we will be. We should focus on behavioral flexibility, being able to work at things we might not enjoy or being open to new ideas and people. We should enhance our learning because we want to, not because we have to. We should also just make an effort. Put in your best work so you stretch yourself and have something to be proud of.

In order to enhance our ability to master content for the AP exam as well as other hurdles, we need to try new approaches. Looking at a concept in a new light not only brings about a new understanding, but creates an event that will stand out in your memory. Connect things you aren't interested in to things that do interest you and learn to love something.

Sharing ideas is the most valuable part of a learning network. Seeing the thought process of others, their beliefs, and what conclusions they draw is extremely interesting and helpful in my own life. Find others who enjoy the same things as you do, or someone who doesn't and can help you in another area. Everyone has a specialty and if we build on that we can create something great.
