We are learning through osmosis
Google search vocabulary, deconstruction of letters
select a sentence to deconstruct from the letter
redesigning the way you think
creating "a living text" - not dead space
a. key part of design
immerse yourself in text - think about the word
whichever word - off on your own, select with care
social meeting exercise, open ended meeting
big on feelings
ethnographic notes- relating to the scientific description of peoples and cultures with their customs, habits, and mutual differences
as much detail as possible
select six words/symbols from notes
pairing 6 words into three pairs, not associated with each other (very different words, opposition)
going into dictionary, two words together
create simple sentence- will be doing it all semester
independent from social meeting
describing incidents from the meeting
when we share differences we get closer

We go after nuance to determine our differences
why do we want to determine our differences
- that's how we create value
first person action research- an approach to research undertaken by researchers as an inquiry into their own actions, giving conscious attention to their intentions
You are learning to abstract, stay rooted in reality (our abstractions are models)
TEXTUAL TURN: increasing focus on logic and philosophy of language and the cleavage between ideal language philosophy and ordinary language philosophy
Increase your cultural value/shock
- Print out stuff in the fishbowl and show how you think and read and write
BOUNTIFULNESS: marked by or producing abundance; giving generously
Experience is dependent on your social experience- social relations
Whatever you've thought write about your feelings
6 words you are circling- the words are symbols
1 sentence for each paragraph- dichotomy- 3 dichotomy- 6 symbols
Notes are always private
Put down the words that you associate with the image- 3 words
Machine
Creates a mental space (metaphor)
The metaphor determines the behavior
Sometimes will stop the film to say what he has to say

Feelings Before Social Meeting
- excited to go to Mews with my friends Lindsay and Maia
- I am excited to get some good food and catch up with the two of them
- I expect this to go very smoothly with them

Social Meeting
- We get to Mews and I am happy to see them outside of class for once
- We sit and we start talking about what we want to drink
- We all get a beer and start talking about our summer's
- Lindsay interned at Stressed to Blessed marketing, she said she enjoyed very much
- Maia interned at Smith Co.
- As we are talking I accidentally spilled my pumpkin beer, now I'm upset
- The waitress was kind enough to get me a new one
- We got appetizers, Lindsay had French Onion Soup and now I wish I had french onion soup
- I ordered a burger, very good, we ended up sharing everything
- I got a 3rd beer because I spilled the first one
- Maia and I got chocolate cake to split and Lindsay had her own
- We start getting more personal once dessert served
- Lindsay has a boyfriend as does Maia
- I don't, I have myself
- I started to giving them tips on fashion
- All in all it was a great time but we all got very tired

Changing the way you think
- Requires you to ID how you thin
- And then show evidence to show how you changed the way you think
At the same time having an awareness of how you are doing it
Substitute the word, substituting it to make it very simple
Process of selection
Nuances – define
The learning takes place upon reflection, occurs afterword
There has to be a realization
Lifting up through selection of words
Deep-Learning
Resumes- technique: deep-learning, your process
Deconstruction
- When you google you pull a lot of info- what do you do with it
- You scroll through it, but you are looking for one sentence minimum in regard to what you do in the fishbowl
- During the search- must know authors name
- Can’t talk about film without knowing the actors
- Every time asked to google a name, don’t skip on it
- Understand the word
Mary Jo Hatch
You cannot attend a finance presentation if you don’t understand what is going on
Continue creating and recreating how you think and understand things
Critical thinking
Must be able to see yourself critically thinking
How do you design a group or organization? (three people)
How do you design an organization that allows group interaction in a way that the group is continually innovative
The communication can be lost
It has to be communication which adds value – how we communicate in the fishbowl
Vocabulary is very key to it and it is like learning a language
- Doesn’t mean just the meaning but also how you can substitute the word
The market is asking for what Scott and Fran were doing together
You need outcomes, you have to do a lot of creation before
If you do a lot of creation you will meet a unique outcome
Scott became a threat
The grandma said listen to the rhythm, not practice the steps
We try and do the same thing
The dictionary is the tool box
Design thinking has to with being a words craftsman
A dog and pony show
They need someone to do it differently because they don’t know how to do it
Everything we are expected to do in the fishbowl
- Can’t enter it with the mindset that we are going to be graded right away
- The more you slow down the father you will go

Class Notes
Just taking down what Sanjiv or the money are doing
When we go home we edit it and that’s where the learning takes place
Your mind has to go into different places
You’re watching how you select these words
Reflect on the problems
Friendship
See each other in a different perspective
Friendship in the work place
which symbols juxtapose in order to create meaning
what is the outcome between the three of you
we have to write policies and papers
Action oriented
Five algorithms
10 steps five times
Love letters….. keep in the pocket and read it 100 times a day…. No thank you
Keep it simple
Producing knowledge, it is a social practice

We should go to conferences that have to do with funding
Soft power- google search
If you don't register you won't be leaving a digital footprint
Strictly ballroom
- can see that from the metaphorical view
if we are hungry we will not learn
Dichotomy
The opening sentence is the ideal one
A metaphor is a BRIDGE between the CONCRETE world and the ABSTRACT MIND, LINKING something KNOWN to the SENSES with an abstraction of the mind always WORKING to DESCRIBE the abstract with the concrete
Bridge- connection
Concrete- hard
Abstract Mind- different thoughts
Linking- together
Known- sensed
Senses- felt
Working- do
Describe- define
- As I am working on linking my mind to my senses, I think about the abstract approach that is known to create and describe a concrete bridge.
- As I define what I sensed and the feelings I had, I felt a connection to different thoughts which was hard for me to do in the past
Conscious is a mans compass
Creating something or the other

Money is made if you have conceptual skills
Always taking notes because learning happens after
You are learning to abstract, we are doing it in steps
Sequential journey of our mind
The felt experience matches the abstraction
Images, symbol, perception
Learning to empower your text
Reification**- a complex idea for when you treat something immaterial – like happiness, fear, or evil – as a material thing. This can be a way to make something concrete and easier to understand, like how a wedding ring is the reification of a couple’s love.
File the emails away
We are learning to write our own textbook
Learning to be yourself
Social constructivism
Participant observations
Symbolic interaction
Self and social reflexivity
START WITH THE FEELING

Felt experiences

Self reflexivity
Imagination and text and images
The impact is extraordinary when you impact the text
Struggling to remember someone’s face
