"We can apply the basics of Prestons Ted Talk to our current situation: COVID-19. Like he said, if multiple people with their unique and original input all collaborate we can create spectacular work that could not have been achieved otherwise. To me it seems that the world is in such a state of shock that we have forgotten how to reach out and use our peers for help. The only thing that we have partially done in unison as a world is go into shelter and place. Although it is a very stressful time, we need to work as a group to help solve this coronavirus pandemic." K.M.
It’s making me wonder how we can pull together as a class during this time so we can collaborate to create something spectacular. I know that at least one of you creates YouTube videos. Some of you are trying to learn new languages. Some of the students in class are still getting up everyday and getting themselves ready like school is still going on, because it makes them feel as if they are at the top of their game, or at least close to it. Many people are feeling confused and frustrated with the switch to online learning.
It’s important to take a deep breath, step back from everything, and get centered, especially when we feel OVERWHELMED with information, expectations, noise, and worry.
I’d like to devote some time to learning about the Immune System.
1. Please read pages 542-544 in the textbook, the link is in Google Classroom.
2. Then watch this video from MedCram. As your assignment, I’d like you to develop 3 questions about the Immune Response that you could bring into a Socratic Seminar.
