First 3 Weeks

Wow! Well, it looks like I'm probably not going to updating this as much as I expected... sorry! Too much school. :(

Anyways, for the past two weeks we've been talking about various methods of communication and how those methods can together enable people to be able to understand and to follow directions in order to complete tasks and such. I LOVE the way we are learning this concept! From learning how to create Jacob's Ladder (video coming soon, hopefully!) to playing games with paper footballs, this non-traditional method of teaching that differs from what I have heard about Scientific Inquiry will surely make this class one of my most memorable experiences here at Mercer! Can't wait for next week!!! :))

And I'll definitely try to make time to update this more often! Oh, the memories from blogging on Xanga many years ago... :)

Importance of Communicatiom

Communication is an important part of our ability to learn and know starting from birth. We depend on communication from our families to be able to learn how to talk, listen and understand. The ability to effectively communicate can lead to other skills such as walking, completing chores, and those that can lead to academic success. Without communication, it would be very difficult, if not nearly impossible, to understand and cooperate with other people to complete tasks.
