Open Source Learning
            We were always told, “Do what they do in school and you’ll have a good job”, today, students are slowly changing this saying in a more creative, collaborative, and free environment. In Dr. Preston’s class of Expository reading and writing, we change the way the game is played and found new things to learn and new ways to learn. We, as a class, have collaborated and used technological resources to our advantage, using our peers and the world web to help us help them understand what we are trying to do. This class has open my mind to see that we don’t have to learn by the old fashioned textbook system, but that we have bigger doors that have yet to be open and they’re at a click of a button or sitting right next to you. This class has given me new opportunities to not only go to the teacher but to reach out to nearly anyone in the world for help when I need it.
