unplugged

I feel a bit unplugged--to borrow some metaphoric humor--in this class now. I cannot make the set up and performance as I have a pre-existing workshop. I have offered some thoughts on the subject matter, Memory, but my input is only a passive, background affect not leading to an active and concretized product.

It is fascinating to see and read the ideas generated by my classmates. Some of it I truly have no idea about because I have never played any video games so I'm out of the loop on Jason's project. There is also a whole new approach to the language, process and types of activities that this simultaneous performances engenders.

I am uncomfortable when I don't understand, or feel on top of, a subject matter. I am trying to use this present experience as a life lesson...to just stay in, (try) not get frustrated and absorb however much I can. It is also a good lesson (or reminder) as an educator because there will be students who are bright and excel at certain subjects but just might not get what you are teaching.
