No Red Pill, No Blue Pill

     This composition written by Ana Cristina Pratas was very interesting. I liked the details Ana put into talking about learning from every angle. From involving technology to autonomous learning, she covered all of these subjects very well. The images Ana incorporated into this piece of writing matched really well with the words. For example, when she was talking about learning like wool, " I wish I could say that learning is a delightful, warm, easy, fuzzy experience. Soft as the finest of wools, simple to weave meaning, silky and smooth when putting into practice." She put a picture of a sheep. 

     I had many connections while reading this composition. The connection I felt was the most important was from the digital learning part. Many people in this school, like she said, have little or no technical skills, and they don't wish to acquire them. I help as much as I can, with the technical problems everyone has. But I believe it will be a better school, better for me too, if people took the time and effort into acquiring technical skills, or help. It would help me a lot for my body and mind, if I knew people are getting the help they need. 

    I Think the audience for this topic/essay can be anyone that is learning. No matter how old you are or where you are, this essay really helps open the eyes of people everywhere; this essay even affects us in this class. We use technology in our course everyday, from the projector to the iPads. But what would happen if we didn't know how to use these things? How would our course have turned out then? I enjoyed reading this composition and hope Ana will write more like this in the future.
