4.2

Vocab Word: Ubiquitous

When and Where I found this word: A growing trend- I found this in my reading of Fisher & Frey BK.

Definition, based on context: found everywhere, well known. The text is discussing different terms that are very well known in the education realm, but no so outside of the profession.

Familiarity: I have seen the word before, but was not familiar with the meaning prior to this blog.

Reflective Commentary: I recall my previous blog's (4.1) reflection on synonyms. Although I stated knowing synonyms is important, but the last word "bemoaning" was not something people HAD to know. With "ubiquitous", i think that people, especially students, should know what this word means and should know how to use it correctly. Knowing and using a word like ubiqutious can help increase ones knowledge and make you sound smarter.
