"The purpose of learning is to expand agency." I believe this is really true. In my life, I have seen how education opens doors to make opportunities available that I never would have dreamed of having. Just the process of getting an education has expanded my perspective of how I CAN use my agency.
The idea of intellectual Empathy is an interesting idea to me, but I think it is important. It is so necessary to be able to comprehend and appreciate others' positions without necessarily agreeing with them.
I loved the story shared in class about Joseph Smith, how after Joseph Smith's search of what to do, the Lord waits for him to come with the question he realizes he can't solve on his own; soemthing he's tried to solve, but realized he can't. THEN he comes to the Lord and he is ready for His guidance.
I also am fascinated by the idea of "pseudo-agency." I think this is what is so intriguing and yet so dangerous about games in education.
