The other day I went to the Museum of comtemporary art in Taipei to take a look at the exhibition called “the simple art of parody.” As the name suggested, the exhibition displayed various kind of parody art. I liked the exhibition very much. It provides people with different point of view toward the world. I like to go to various kinds of exhibitions because everytime after I visit the museum, I have new ideas toward life.

I think somehow my way of learning is similar to the Networked student metioned in the video clip. Recently I started to observe that I rely less on what teacher tell me and depend more on Internet. Whenever I have some theory I don’t understand, I google it. By browsing through wiki, online encyclopedia, .org website, and so on, I can gather different information and come up with a combined definition of the theory. Although sometimes I find out that I am wrong with the theory/term, I can correct myself easily when I share the knowledge with others. The knowledge I gain from self-learning via Internet is much easy to attain then those learn in class. In addition, when sharing, I have to organize my thought and find ways to express myself. I think the new way of learning, that is the networked learning, really fits into the 21^st students’ life.
