As I was thinking about what project I’d like to do with David this year, I kept coming back to my theme for the year: learning. I want 2014 to be a year of learning and growth. So it made perfect sense that I would pick a project where David and I could learn together.
What I’ve decided is that we’ll be taking online classes together, using sites like udacity, edx, coursera, etc. and we will make little cards to capture all that David learned each week.
Our first class is by udacity.com and it’s a math class called Introductory Algebra Review.
I hope to do a wide range of subjects together and I know that we might only make it through four classes since they are meant for college so we have to go slowly but it will still be worth it. Here are some I’ve found for us:
- Introduction to Statistics
- Visualizing Algebra (Entry Level Mathematics)
- Introductory Algebra Review
- Introduction to Psychology
- Statistics
- Introduction to Physics
- Introduction to Computer Science
- Understanding Einstein: The Special Theory of Relativity
- The Ancient Greeks
- What a Plant Knows
- Animal Behaviour
- Dino 101: Dinosaur Paleobiology
- Introduction to Philosophy
- Moralities of Everyday Life
- Crafting an Effective Writer
We may take all of these or none of these. Either way it’s nice to have a list to draw from.
Here’s to a year of learning!
what a great list. I think it’s wonderful you are going to do it together.
Hi Karen!
Happy and healthy New Year to you and your family!
How did you create the learning log document shown
above? Would like to try something similar with my son.
Thanks for all your great ideas and for sharing them with us!!
Very kind of you!
Luisa
it’s the same one i used three years ago for the book log. i’ll load it up for you.
