Bring on the Fiber!

Terri blew me away with her synectics lesson. I haven't laughed that hard in a long, long time.... and that's a good thing. After the reading in our text, I wasn't 100% sure of what synectics meant exactly. After Terri's lesson, I really do understand the idea and the impact it can have in the classroom when applied appropriately. I had never previously heard of a shunt prior to this lesson. I am not up on the medical terminology. After the analogy of comparing it to constipation, it was extremely clear the purpose a shunt serves. Overall, Terri's lesson was well done and effective in teaching the theory to our class. I really enjoyed the class and definitely found much amusement in it all!
In addition to learning in depth about synectics, I was also excited to see how easy Noodletools can be to help me with my Annotated Bibliography. I have only used it once before, and the refresher crash course from my classmates brought it all back and I remembered how easy it can be. I am not as worried about "APA" any more. Back in my college days, I did not have the luxury of Noodletools!
