Final Abstraction
Over the semester we have worked as a group in the Fishbowl; we have gone through active learning to enhance our minds and the way in which we think. As a group we went through the 10+ steps and eventually came up with 5 solid sentence structures which we call “abstractions”. In the next 3 pages you will see how we have taken these 5 sentences and used them in relation to the New York Times article titled, You Live Your Life Online. Don’t Forget Your Manners by Victoria Turk.
“The fishbowl is a way for us as a group to enhance our valuable connections.” This abstraction we came up with as a group was very similar to what Victoria was explaining in her writing. She goes on to talk about online etiquette and how our words online can have an impact on others impressions. In the fishbowl we communicate online to enhance our connection as a group and we relate this to when Victoria says, “failure to exhibit good digital etiquette could result in negative outcomes and lost opportunities.” As a group we don’t want to miss out on opportunities to learn and grow as creative thinkers, so it is curital to communicate with each other in the Fishbowl.
“Healthy lifestyles lead us to a better world.” In the article the topic of “staying human” is brought up a lot in regards to online etiquette. Knowing when to use formal language and when to be flexible is important to remain balanced. These rules of etiquette help us maintain healthy relationships, this is where we found correlation to our abstraction. In today's day in age having healthy communication online sometimes is essential to keeping relationships.
“We encounter different aspects that stem from our own experiences.” We all have encountered our own digital experiences throughout our lives. The article references these digital experiences as varying from person to person. Whether to use an emoji, or put a period at the end of a sentence; these are all aspects that we choose to express our tone of voice or feeling. Victoria says “both the content of your message and its tone will live or die based on what you type on your keyboard”, whether it’s in person or online we have different aspects that we use to communicate our feelings in different situations.
“When preparing for an exam, people follow a study guide to prepare and lead them to success. ” There are different guides that are set in place for us in life; varring in context these guides are meant to lead us to success. The article can be a metaphor for the abstraction we came up with. Kind of like a study guide, the article contains valuable information and direction on a subject (digital etiquette) that people read in order to help them succeed. Just like a study guide, Victoria is focusing on a certain subject that people want to learn about; she is educating the reader with her words and wisdom.
“People with creative minds tend to replace the known with the unknown and therefore resulting in them having different mindsets.” In the world of digital media there is room to express yourself creatively, there is no one set of rules to follow. As Victoria explains in the article, the use of emojis and punctuation allows the writer to convey different voices and attitudes digitally. The “known” does not exist in the online world because everything is constantly changing and evolving- that is why creative thinkers endulge online. Many of the topics covered in the article we practiced on our own in the Fishbowl. Interacting, thinking outside of the box and working creatively we as a group were able to take the known and turn it into the unknown.
On the first day of class Sanjiv told us that during the semester we would learn how to become creative thinkers. Through the Fishbowl and working on our 10+ steps we have a better understanding of the way our minds work and how to interpret ideas in different perspectives. Looking at the 5 abstractions we came up with as a group we have selected one in particular that after reading this article stands out to us. “People with creative minds tend to replace the known with the unknown and therefore resulting in them having different mindsets,” this abstraction is one that we as a group embodied throughout the semester. As three different individuals we were able to work collaboratively and understand the value of our own mindsets through our work in the Fishbowl.
