My style of learning was is a mix of two photos. The first picture that reflects my style of learning, is the match. A match is used to ignite objects, when struck against something abrasive a flame is made. Bringing it back to the way of learning, It takes me little bit to understand certain topics. Like the match, when my understanding is struck against something abrasive (something challenging my thoughts) my knowledge is ignited. One my knowledge is ignited I find the practicality of and use of this knowledge. Knowledge does not exist in a vacuum but rather through the interrelation “the way we know.” Knowledge is more of a verb than a noun. It is not static but in progress. What we know is contested, changed, negated, and compromised through our interactions with different people (similar to how a lit match can change the physical composition of objects) The second object, is the rubber band. This made me think about how I learn because it starts off small and becomes big. The rubber band ball grow larger by slowly adding a rubber band one at a time. It builds upon itself. The other way it reminds me of learning is because as rubber bands are added on some break off. It further elucidates the idea that learning and knowledge is in a state of change.
Really great imagery tie in with the match and abrasive surface!!
I like your emphasis on the fact that knowledge is constantly changing. As an extension to your analogy, I think the life cycle of a match would go nicely with the blog. A match’s flame is not necessarily steady, reflecting the constant change. I had also used the rubber-band ball in my blog, so I completely understand what you’re saying!
