Value of a lesson plan, value of learning

We,Berea College students, came and conquered the pumpkin patch. I wondered the the value of importance in this adventure. I cant doubt that there is not some reason, i figure there was. We took a trip outside our bubble, or zone of college life and into a pumpkin patch. The point i gather was that learning takes place everywhere, not just in a class room. We came and observed, observed the pumpkins will roll given enough push and a steady decline. We as future educators need to open up to the idea that learning is more than knowledge out of a text book, knowledge is what you make it. I find the more answers i seek, the better learner i become, making learning that much easier for me.
