6 Jan: #2 The Amazing Race - Debrief (II) Personal Reflection

What do you understand about the school value "Expanding Our Learning Networks"?

I understand that we can Expand Our Learning Networks by not only through the internet, not only through the world, but also in our community, if we only concentrate on expanding our learning networks through the internet, all over the world, we'll soon lose track on our own country itself. We should try to expand our learning networks in our community, understanding more from people living here and we might even learn something that is not listed on the internet, like how families lived in the past, a specific family, we can learn it from the elderly. By taking care of them, we can also get some experience on how to take care of our parents when they become older and weaker.

Why is this value important and how will it help you in your learning experience in SST?

It is important for our future research. If we need to find about a special place, we need to submit a report on a special place in our neighbour hood, we can learn more from them. We can even get the comments on people overseas, how an outsider feels about this particular event/accident etc etc. We should learn not to only limit our resources to the internet. Sometimes, viewing the place, interviewing the people yourself is better than other people interviewing them as you might have something to ask that the reporter had not thought of. It'll give you a better understanding.
