Introductory Blog Topic
Last Wednesday, we did our first activity as a large group: the Blind Square. We had a mix of experienced and inexperienced people in the group, and various obstacles were placed and then removed. Do you think the group was successful? Do you think that you were successful? Imagine the event from a different perspective (e.g. if you had done it before, imagine it from the perspective of a new person, and vice versa). What could you have done to make the experience better for them? What do wish had gone differently in the activity, and what could you have done to make the activity go differently? What are you proud of yourself for doing?

I think the group was quite successful because at the end students was able to make a square, even though it took half an hour to do so.
ReplyDeleteHowever,I don't think that I was successful since I didn't really make any contribution to the game, and I still did not know how people could make square even though this was my second time to play the game.
A new person to this game may feel very frustrated and hopeless as he or she does not know where to start. I think that providing more illustration or giving some hints would let the new people play this game more easily.
At the beginning, we thought that experienced students could help the new people make a square, but the new people did not ask for other experienced students' advice. I think that experienced students could have taken leadership role in this game, and then the inexperienced people would know how to make a square quickly.
To be honest, I am not really proud of myself because I didn't contribute to the success of this game.
