1.a) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdisciplinary
Interdisciplinary is a term of art in several professions concerned with education and training that refers to the qualities of studies that cut across several established disciplines or traditional fields of study. This involves researchers, students, and teachers in the goals of connecting and integrating several academic discipline, professions, or technologies, along with their specific perspectives, in the pursuit of a common task. Interdisciplinary approaches typically focus on problems felt by the investigators to be too complex or vast to be dealt with the knowledge and tools of a single discipline, for example, the epidemiology of AIDS or global warming The term may be applied where the subject is felt to have been neglected or even misrepresented in the traditional disciplinary structure of research institutions, for example, women's studies or ethnic area studies

Project 1C

1. Nanette, she is working on her AA degree in Humanities
Two Things she learned about Paulo Freire are:
-
He believed that people should work with each other rather than one person acting on another.
-In the 1970's he travelled the world lecturing on his ideas and experiences with education.

2.Westley, he lives 50.8 miles away from the Santa Rosa Campus!
Two things he learned about Paulo Freire are:
-He wrote a book titled Pedagogy of the Oppressed which is used in most educational texts in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
-He is also well known for a concept of “Banking” education, where the person doing the learning only listens and learns what they want to hear and tone everything else out.

Paulo Freire

1. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6bMBWvoPp8&feature=related
Paulo Freire was a very intelligent man, I think one of his important idea/fact was"Nobody starts reading the word; Because the word...What we have to read to our disposal is the World." This I had to read a few times to understand but its a powerful quote that has so much truth to it.

2. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PemcNyIgxFs
I think another important thing he did was he said it was very challenging but he was responsible for education in a city in Latin America. And making their happy place, public schools, better for children because they had no money or materials.

3. Source:http://www3.nl.edu/academics/cas/ace/resources/paulofreire.cfm
Freire's life and work as an educator is optimistic in spite of poverty, imprisonment, and exile. He is a world leader in the struggle for the liberation of the poorest of the poor: the marginalized classes who constitute the "cultures of silence" in many lands.
