Wednesday handouts and Unix questions there and Unix examples here
If you study this page and those handouts,
you will appreciate Thanksgiving break more
than if you don't do it.
Take some notes. Be confused.
Expose yourself to something you are not familiar with...
It is okay to do that and it is good to do that...
Confusion about something for 10 minutes
means you are that much closer to clarity
about that same something down the road,
later that semester or down the road,
later that academic year.
If you are confused, but engaged in the material
and thinking about it and INKing about it or getting
the lead out of a PENcil instead of the INK out of
a pen, you are learning the terms, you are getting
familiar with things. Even though it may seem nothing
is happening, you are travelling, you are getting
closer to clarify, insight, new skills, new abilities,
new understanding...
If Friday or after Thanksgiving break, I talk about some of this or
demonstrate some of this or in small groups you struggle with some of
these new things,
you might think or say thanks to another student
in your small group discussion or
on your group exercise team, or
you might say thanks or
you might think thanks to the teacher for
for clearing that up,
for clarifying that,
for the clarification,
for making it plain,
explain means to make it plain,
to make something clear,
to make something outside of yourself
as a physical thing in words sounding
in the air, or
in words sounding
in the mind of the reader
that is reading them
on the blackboard, or
the whiteboard, or
the handout, or
the web page, or
the email, or
the text message
(which your teacher
has no clue how to do).
Words heard, spoken words, sounds, the student or teacher listening,
considering, writing, taking notes.
Words written in the book or on a web page or on a handout, the
student or the teacher reading, writing, taking notes,
consuming ink, knowing its okay to be confused, and
the longer you listen and consider,
the more you write down, let the ink flow,
rewrite the ideas or draw the interface
and express confusion and make
wild guesses and say the terms...
the closer you are to clarity, and
the closer you are to your destination, and
when you get there and say, eureka,
I now understand that,
I now can do this,
I now can talk about this,
I now think I could even help
somebody else do this, or
understand this....
You will be at the destination not only sooner, but you
will have a better luxury suite at that destinatin for your
stay, and you will have an upgrade automatically
paid for by your not being afraid to be confused,
and not being afraid to take notes,
and draw diagrams,
and say stuff in your own words,
and make wild, crazy guesses
to make it less threatening,
less intimidating,
less unfamiliar,
and then make educated guesses, and get confidence finding
the things in the new material that relate to what you
already know.
If the ink don't flow, the understanding don't grow.
Biction...
THINK...
The last three letters of the word THINK...
INK...
Let it flow...
Not that pencils aren't an equally good thing...
Not that keyboards and typing isn't great too...
So let the ink flow, or
get the lead out, or
press those keys and press onward to get ideas and thoughts
out of yourself and onto paper, scratch paper, napkins,
computer monitors, via keyboard keys, pencils or pens.
Not that the mouse is not important too, for drawing diagrams
and pictures of concepts with Paint, Photoshop, Flash,
or Fireworks, Illustrator,
or even using the Microsoft Word
Drawing toolbar as you switch
from keyboard to mouse to
pen or pencil
watching the output get out of your mind onto
paper or the computer display
as you draw new insights
from a book, or
from a Adobe Flash CS4 video, or
from a handout, or
web page tutorial, or
your already existing notes
from some class, or
from some reading,
note taking session.
Writing is the right thing to do.
Just do it.
Biction.
