1.       How can these concepts enhance your learning as you arrive at a moment when grades no longer matter

Students like us can be open to new ideas and break away from habits, honestly, children who grew up in the 1990’s are 99.9% suitable to change. Did it take a while for us to maneuver through the internet? No. Did it take a long time for us to get used to use cellular phones? No. this is all part of our society—we’re still learning.

2.      How can these concepts enhance your ability to master content for the AP exam and other hurdles you have yet to leap?

The AP test is similar to those bubble-in tests so I believe studying is the way to master the key concepts. Perhaps we should convince ourselves literature is enjoyable so we can study more literature as a whole. There’s a quote along the lines of “Sometimes we need to fool ourselves.” It wasn’t that exact quote; I just made it ten times more distasteful.  

There are all types of resources out there. The internet is so vast and our capabilities are unlimited. Time to put those two together.

3.      How can you use these concepts to collaborate with and inspire others, to improve the information exchange and overall value of your learning network?

By just blogging, it allows others to be inspired by what we do. Like what Dr. Preston tells us, two brains are better than one, and three brains are better than two, so on and so forth. By collaborating, our ideas can become invincible. Our ideas constantly updated and refined; it’s very much like information.
