Throughout the discussion about what all Capstones should be, I was struck by the wide range of personalities and personal styles in the class. This has become more evident after reading the Capstone Ideas from the blogs.
The discussions were good because I like that a lot of different views were expressed. Capstones as a whole should have the ability to express the entire range of students skill sets. One student might feel comfortable pushing themselves in a very off-the-wall way, while another student might feel comfortable pushing themselves in a very structured way. I think all the Capstone ideas have the potential to grow into something amazing with more breath and depth then the original idea without loss. The projects might be radically different, but each of the students might personally stretch themselves equally. I just hope that is reflected in the projects and appreciated by those who view the Capstones.
In terms of my own Capstone, the class discussion was an opportunity for inspiration, but I didn't feel any "ah ha" moments, which is perfectly normal and acceptable. The blog posts reminded me of some of my own long-held interests.
I'm not sure if I should use the inspiration from my fellow classmates to further my own ideas, or to join them in a joint project. At this point, I'm not sure which avenue I would be most passionate about.
