Learning Journey

3:00 - 4:30

The second last meeting.

we didnt do much we talked about basically just personal stuff with others and then a women came in. I remembered her because she was the recorder for my group for the Results Symposium. She wanted to know our opinion on how we can be healthier. Is implementing things in high school a good thing? does it work?

Well we talked about that, my opinion was similar to another member of the council, She talked about how her parents were young parents and they were on a tight budge when she was little and that the easiest thing would be to buy something from mcdonalds or something. I can relate to this because i find my mom did this alot, her being an only parent and raising to kids, it was definatley hard for her to pay rent and to have enough in the end to buy healthy food from the grocery store. It just didnt work like that so she had to resort to buying food from mcdonalds or KFC. I notice that because of my weight that could be a factor and i made a point on how we should make it more clearer when we are in elementary that eating healthy is a good thing and that it can benefit us in many ways. Now that i am in highschool the gym teachers basically teach me on how i should have every factor of the "food pyramid" haha. Being taught this helped me a great deal because eating healthier makes me more energetic and i feel way better.

We basically just wrapped up and left.

CBE RESULTS SYMPOSIUMS!!!

Lets see. Where do i start!!! It was pretty good, ive never actually been to something like this. I had a good feeling that alot of students from high schools around the city come together and discuss how they learn! I was surprised that alot of students werent as judgmental, Because thats all of what happened to me in junior high and since i dont go to a regular sized high school it was weird to see that?

We discussed on how we could learn in different and what we can learn with, technology wise. Also we talked about how we are taught math and if we really need to go further in making it required to learn.

Personally, i think we need more teachers to be interactive with students, to be energetic about everything that they are going to teach. I find that teachers feel like they want to go against the system in a way, where they think that we should work at our own pace. Not only that but they hand you a work and expect you to do the work the right way with tools such as the textbook they provide you. Its hard when this happens because they physically don't show you how to do a equation and thats how i learn. Its hard that way because you don't exactly learn anything and you get frustrated with everything and stuff

3:00 - 4:30

So today we had a couple guests from the SMART leadership stuff we did a couple meetings ago. It is different than the last one because we talk about social media and how to get certain things out into the world and to get people to notice it. we discussed SMILE (Story, Measure, Identity, Listen , Engage) and digital citizenship. Which meant things like how you put things on the internet, its like internet etiquette. To know what you are going to put out into the internet for everyone to see and to watch what you say. Which i get because alot of people don't think about things before they send it out into the world till its too late.

We then discussed about blogs, and how that can have a impact on the younger generations. I think this is a good idea because alot of younger people are spending alot of time on the internet now a days and its a efficient way to get certain things out into the word, like i said earlier.

I find that when someone wants something important to happen or to have a certain impact on certain individuals. This is how people on Facebook get so much likes about issues that are happening in the world, its all about how people can get interested and do something about this and that is what INSPIRE is for. It stands for Innovative, Newsworthy, Sincere, Personal, Interrelated, Relevant and Educational.

3:00 - 4:30

This meeting we discussed things we previously did last meeting, with out SMART goals, This defiantly helped me in making basically short term goals. We had to put it on the D2L shelf and i find that there is a lot of support in what our goals will be with other members in this council which helps me because it helps me be more confident with my future endeavors. Then we talked about Leadership roles and non profit organizations, When we talked about this i got the idea that both leadership and non- profit organization are tied together and somehow go together. In my opinion i think that for a non-profit organization there are alot of doubts about it but when there is a good leader things can happen. Roles of a Leader would be having trust, a strong foundation, and of course cooperation between group members.

Today we had guests from CBE Communications and had questions to answer. Like; who am i as a student leader?, what does it mean to be a student leader at the system level?, what has my interactions on this council taught me?, etc. we answered the questions briefly and just discussed them. We had another guest from "tell them from me" with Michelle Howell. The website was a survey on how our system is doing basically. Debbie let us have time to work on our projects, mine which was the anti-bullying group, in my group we discussed how we can minimize bullying in a junior high setting, because that's what seems where all the bullying starts then transitioning into highschool
