AoW Impressions 2-2-15

Prompt:  What did you learn from last week's AoW presentations?

Date:  2-2-15

          On Friday, I learned a lot from all my classmates' work and articles.  Their presentations really brought me up to date with the world and what's been happening recently.  For example, I had no idea what ever happened to Ebola!  But then I realized that doctors have discovered and have made a vaccination for Ebola, and found a way to cure it.  I also didn't know about this ISIS and Japan conflict!  Japan is negotiating with ISIS because both groups hold hostages, that are being threatened to kill!  ISIS is demanding ransom money for the hostages.

          I also learned a lot about topics that I've never really investigated in the first place.  I never really took interest to, or explored diabetes or the study of it, until I read listened to one of my peers explain how doctors and professionals are coming up with a new, quicker, and more accurate test to see if one does carry the disease.  All of these modern day events and discoveries never occurred to me or were presented to me, before these presentations.  I thought it was a really cool project and activity as a class, mostly because of how it provided learning opportunities for everyone.  I hope we can do it again, or a similar task to make AoWs a little more interesting and fun to complete.  It really motivated me to make sure I knew everything about my article.
