Ideas talked about in class today (Jan. 23)

In class today we mentioned several ideas, which I've captured here in sort of a cluster map -- a nod to Jumanne.

Anyway, the larger theme is the bigger circle. Different ideas for the theme are represented by the smaller circle. I jotted down the names of a few students who talked about the themes/ideas. I apologize if I've gotten someone's name wrong, or misspelled it. I'm still learning.

Dean would like us to think about these themes/ideas, but we've already got quite a bit we can brainstorm over. Perhaps in the next class? And I expect we will add to our list a lot over the next week or two.

If I missed something, interpreted something wrong, mislabeled a theme/idea, let me know. I'll make whatever changes are needed.

Reading for next week
