Project 1C

I decided to read Joseph Fitch's blog because he had never blogged but had created a webpage, so I felt we had that in common. He is also in the middle of his college years, so I felt what he wrote would be interesting.

What I learned from Joey's blog about Paulo Freire was:

Without the power to vote, the poor remained in a constant state of oppression.
Freire worked extensively to reach millions of people by writing books in both English and Spanish, which broadened his efforts and drew even more attention to a cultural issue that plagued the poor and illiterate. Freire created adult literacy projects focusing on educational reform to elevate the illiterate and poor cultures throughout Brazil.
Freire became one of the most renowned, influential thinkers and educators of the twentieth century; he believed in the power of education and used his philosophical ideals to help advance illiterate and poor cultures throughout the county and world.


I also read Mike Becerra's blog because he is also a younger college student and I am curious to see what he got out of this assignment.

He saw dialogue as an educational form. He believed that dialoge was a way for people to work with each other to gain a better understanding of the world.
He might be most well-known for his concept against "banking" Education. He believed that passive learners have pre-selected knowledge in their minds and that students were treated as empty accounts to be filled by teachers.
