Mini Project #1 reflection




My topic is peer-based learning and how it affects our ability to learn.   For the first mini project, I did an infograph. As shown in the picture, my infograph consists of 3 big circles that each represents different aspects to peer based learning.   The first circle is the “you” circle, the second circle is the “friends and popular culture” circle, and the third circle is the “teacher” circle. Each circle has individual factors but also has relationships with each other. The areas where two or more circles overlap are the areas of relationship. For example, the area where the “you” circle overlaps with the “friends/popular culture” shows the relationship between you and your friends.  This piece of work clearly shows how I believe that friends or popular culture has a tremendous influence in learning. Students learn a great deal from explaining their ideas to others and participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers.   I believe that one learns the most information from their peers and other social networks. The idea of interested-based learning is a factor for why the relationship between “you” and “friends” is so strong. Friends usually have the same interest as one another, which is why others learn more efficiently with one another. Tell me what you think about my project.

  1. I love the infograph. It makes so much sense! I really think we do learn the most from our friends. Even if a teacher teaches us, we usually rely on a friends to re-teach us or help us with what the teacher taught. I think it came together really well and can't wait to see what the next mini project will hold.

  3. I really like how Friends have like the most information on it. I agree that friends have the most influence on us. We choose our friends and it is always based on similar interests.
