So, I've realized I have made a mistake which I can justify by saying it's okay because I am learning about the expectation of this class and blogging (hehe, okay bad excuse). The mistake I made was that I accidentally posted on Digital Doc reflection which wasn't due until 2/27. This means I skipped over the Learning and action blog, which I will do now in order to fix my mistake.
I agree with Gee where he states, "The child, through action and reflection, becomes a "self-teacher," "training" his or her own mental networks of associations" (91). For me, someone can always try and tell me not to do something but it isn't until I have done it myself that I realize it to be either a good or a bad choice. It is harder to listen and learn from someone else than it is from your own experiences and associations. It is true that children (including me) still need active teachers to help guide their experiences but it is true that learning for me comes from my own experiences in which I have chosen to create.

I completely agree with you on learing from personal experience. There have been many times in my life where I have been warned not to do something and I end up doing it anyways. I really believe that people have to learn from their own mistakes and experiences. This is how we grow as human beings and develop more character.
