Letter 58: Selection, substitution, satisfaction (443)
“Whenever you change the way you think, you change your life” -- Professor Dugal
When I read this, it is something I understand very well. How you think can determine so much about how you view your life, live your life and your actions associated with it. My parents have always told me you become the people you surround yourself with, this I think is true. They influence how you think therefore you life decisions they will change your life for the good or the bad.
Letter 59: looking at ourselves again
“Points after swimming in the labyrinth that is your fishbowls” -- Dugal
Nice metaphor! I love it ! yes our fishbowl is certainly a labyrinth. Thank you for recapping for us.

Letter 61: relationship not just parts (443)
“Each part in a symbiotic system is made stronger by its relationship to other parts”--Dugal
Everyone has a role. These roles combined can form relationships. There relationships are critical, because when they are combined they are better together than apart. (our groups)

Re: REFLECTIONS ON LETTERS
Letter 1: “welcome to the course”
“We are in this together”, gives the student a feeling of belonging and make sure no one is in a rush. This class will be a learning process.
Letter 2: “making space”
“We are making a social space among ourselves” we are making space for knowledge, ideas, innovation, and emotions. Creating new experiences allows us to learn new things, feel new emotions, think of new ideas.
Letter 3: “virtual reality”
Watching this video got me thinking why do people choose different things. For example, choosing different sentences, different colors, different flavors. We are all different and our experiences and opinions is why.

Re: REFLECTIONS ON LETTERS
Letter 4: “restructuring text”
Creating more value by restructuring a text is a special practice and ability. Value when linked with words cannot be terminated or diminished. Sharing our practices create more value to others as they create their own thoughts, this makes sharing important.
Learning starts in your mind and remains in you thoughts alone. Reflecting and putting thoughts out of you mind is how you will remember and analyze. Reflecting is practicing.
Letter 5: “sharing what we see and read”
100 letters is a lot of emails.
The questions asked in the beginning also relate to a social environment. When meeting new people, doing something new, and going to a new place. Theatre, metaphor, see, image- all words driven by the 5 senses.
Across, aisle- words driven by actions, physical movement, and position.
Connecting through the digital realm diminishes some of our senses.
Letter 6: “questions”
Letter 7: “simulating a society”
I have had many difficulties with fishbowl, all of my conversations have been saving as drafts.
Different internet platforms show us topics and ideas in a different way. These fishbowls are that. New tools of conversation and connection.
