I am feeling more confident about my decision to take on extra study. The other teachers I met were really friendly and were feeling a lot like me! Herbert has a relaxed manner, which put us at ease.
Our collaborative activity of creating images out of play dough to represent our understanding of what knowledge is and and the purpose of education was interesting and challenging. We panicked a little when it came to the video and upload (and we ran out of time). This had the desired effect though as I am now going to take an iPad and camera from now on, as well as brush up on the use of iMovie.
Our view of what knowledge is was "... a justified true belief". Although I'm not totally convinced this is the best description.
As for the purpose of education, we came up with: "To create children who will participate and contribute successfully in the adult world".
