I think every-one's interpretation of the video and post are really based o their own experiences thus far in college.marleyfan601https://www.blogger.com/profile/12015854549805756944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379788497116014326.post-36203669290618843292011-04-09T12:01:07.128-05:002011-04-09T12:01:07.128-05:00"I am in college for a degree, it's that ..."I am in college for a degree, it's that simple." <br /><br />Well. I would strongly disagree. I would argue that you understand you <i>need</i> a degree to do what you want to do but that you are taking far more advantage of the time you spend here than others who have only <i>a degree </i> as their goal. You even say so your self: "I want to learn, I am in college to learn...I want to be challenge[d] and forced to think..."<br /><br />metaphors are often obtuse but they enhance our understanding because they are obtuse. If the reader/listener/observer understands the metaphor. You did. You are one of only 6 of 129 students in EDM 310 who identified the post as a metaphor in which pencils were computers.Please read my post <a href="http://edm310.blogspot.com/2011/04/metaphors-what-they-are-and-why-we-use.html" rel="nofollow">Metaphors: What They Are and Why We Use Them</a> (<i>A Learning Opportunity</i>). It contains a <b><i>Special Assignment.</i></b> I think you will find the comments that will be generated interesting. I am looking forward to your participation in the conversation.John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.com
