In the ‘un-lecture’ this week the idea of gaining knowledge rather than just consuming information was handed to us. I agree completely that as students it is more beneficial for us to gain knowledge rather than just learn information and facts. Especially in the current society we live in where facts and information are readably available to us to on the Internet.

My big question is how best I can gain this knowledge. My previous understanding of how best to gain knowledge would be to have information and by truly looking at and understanding a wide range of information, knowledge would be gained.

This week’s un-lecture has caused me to consider that there are other and more effective ways to gain knowledge.

My taking of the un-lecture was to gain knowledge through experience.

But I still feel like there are other ways too.

I am still unsure what these ways might be as I still struggle to see how we can have knowledge without information, however I am keen to find out! And when I do, I’ll let you know.
