No Red Pill No Blue Pill

I found the article No Red Pill No Blue Pill very relatable and very interesting too.  enjoyed the hook to this article by putting the introduction very mysterious and story like format. The way she presented her ideas and thoughts were much different then I usually read which really made me pay attention to the whole article making sure I wouldn't get confused along the way. I love the way she had pictures and visuals to go with the article though a few of the pictures confused me but captured my attention at first to read what the article was about. I found the infogrpahcis helpful and easier to understand the article.

I love how she said " Learning may be social, but in the end it is individual " because it is very true. We all have our different was of learning and we can work together to learn but in the end it is what each person takes out of the lesson and how they intercept it. Everyone has their own style and way of learning. I found the info graphic about the eight involvements of learning which is passion, work, focus, push, ideas, improve, serve and persist.  I strongly agree that no matter how hard a teacher tries, if a learner is not willing or motivated to learn they will not learn much at all or maybe not even learn anything. It is up to the learner to slowly take steps to push themselves, work and focus. However, it is also up to the teacher too. If you do not have a teacher willing to teach or not being able to help improve, push, serve, with the student, the student maybe discouraged. It is very important for both the learner and the teacher to do their role.

Nowadays we have depended too much on technology and can research things in a quick "click" or "tap". The internet is very hell[pull and useful to help with learning skills such as researching on Google or even using presentations as different ways of learning. Even though we have these amazing privileges I do not think we should abuse them. We are not to use to using as much paper anymore and  a simple crayon.
Usually we use the internet for gaming and social media.
I like the way she put links to some of the harder words or unfamiliar words. This helped me understand the article better instead of just sitting there confused and having to look the words up myself. I enjoyed No Red Pill No Blue Pill very much.

  1. I liked your response writing but you should read it out loud because some parts don't make sense. Maybe make the font a bit bigger next time cause it kind of hard to tell if you put a comma or a period. Also you messed up spelling help full. But overall it was good.

  2. I think your response was well written. You added some quotes she said, and your writing is relatable to some other students'. since some of them have the same view as you. One thinkg you can work on is proofreading it, or reading it our loud yourself. For example in the first sentence, you for got to put an 'I' before 'enjoyed', which doesn't make sense. All in all, yoru response is pretty good.
