My Vote for the WGU Mascot Name

I want to see if other people think like me, but in this day of unusual names, I'm not so sure that the name I chose will be the one that gets picked. No matter! This is some WGU fun anyhow for me. It's still cool to be a part of these developments though.

So the name I picked was...

Newton!

Why? Well first off, Sir Isaac Newton simply rocks. But, in his time, he was something of an oddity. Some people were impressed by his concepts while others just shook their heads. The things we think of now as fact and some even as common sense weren't thought of in that way when Newton expressed them. (And let's be honest, we still don't know the details of gravity no matter how you slice it).

To me, knowledge based learning is similar to gravity. A concept so brilliant as to be simplicity itself. The idea uses alot of common sense and the methods used are like formulas. Instead of sitting in classrooms listening to a teacher drone on, we have specific tasks to be accomplished and are guided in the direction that helps us to build on existing knowledge. In point of fact, Newton is the perfect name, though I won't cringe if another name is chosen.
