Thoughts on Open Source Learning

Not many people know that I am taking an extra English class. By that I mean I TA for Dr. Preston's expository class 0 period. Of course I do work that a TA does like organize files, run errands & input grades. Exciting stuff right? Well it's more than just that. I get to take a class without having to do any class work & still learn more.

I sit back everyday & watch Dr. Preston teach. I watch the class teach other, they collaborate & share opinions. Which is what Open Source Learning is all about. I am able to cover twice as much information, even if the classes are two different subjects. I absorb every piece of information that is important. I feel prepared for when I go to my 5th period class & just know I am already prepared for what i'm about to learn. Or even giving input to the 0 period class, as well as my own to further improve our learning experience as a whole.

I am so lucky to be a part of this class & to be able to contribute to the development of Open Source Learning. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this program!
