The AUTOMATIC Room

So we where introduced to the automatic room! I found this room something else, it was full of things you would never find in a learning resource room. It made the atmosphere so different and the way in which learning seemed to flow nicely. The first thing you see when you walk into the room are the three big projection boards that automatically catch your eye. In this lesson we where all giving a keyboard and asked a question. "what is the meaning of life?" This i found was very clever as when you typed each persons response to the answer was anonymous, clever! Everyone had some different answers, some more serious than others. I think this excercise was just something where we could learn how to use this new software and get a feel of the new room we have been introduced to. After getting to terms with the funky new room and calming down, the lesson got on to the main aim which was Edward De Bono and the different ways in which we think. We where split into groups of 3 or 4 and introduced to different ways in which we would think about something.

One of the excercises showed 2 or 3 images and we then had to think of word to do with the object that was on the card. This images consisted of some that people thought had nothing to do with media and some that just didnt have a reason for being there but this was teaching us different ways in which to think. We had to link together somehow the images and make somehthing completely new. Some of the ideas we spoke about where very much left to the imagination and some just what we would could be possible. I felt that this was a real fun excercise and really got everyone in the class creativly thinking!
