Reflection: Weeks 15 & 16

Hey again everybody. So the class is over, and it has definitely been an eye opening class. So after I reflect on these past couple of weeks, I'm going to reflect on the whole class.

Weeks 15 started out with Sue Whitney, Professional Junker, coming into our class and talking to us about all things junk. This was a nice little treat for a couple of reasons. Reason the first, she was an interesting lady. Just hearing her story, and hearing what she thinks about junking was cool. Reason the second, she gave us one of her awesome books. It worked out perfect because my mom is an avid junker, and later that day I was sending my Mother's Day gift. So when we received the book from Ms. Whitney, I put the book right in the package along with my original gift. I talked with my mom on the phone a couple of days later and she loved it.

Next class period, we reflected on the class as a whole. It was a nice relaxing day outside.

But our main online activity was to do a blog post on an online learning activity to educate our Blogging Groups on our main issue in our advocacy project. I created Name That Phobia. We then had to go into our each person blog and complete their learning activity. I enjoyed each and everyone one that I completed.

But now to look back and reflect on this past semester.

• Our first activity - Where we had to stand inside the rope circles, and Dr V kept taking them away. Good times
• All of our readings due. Not always exciting to read, but they were still essential to the course.
  
• Watching 'An Inconvenient Truth'. Our first huge eye opener.
  
• Cosmanics
• Water Privatization - No one started out wanting to talk about it a whole lot, but then we all realized how big of a deal it really was.
• All of the different Photo Essays. All equally awesome
• Story of Stuff, which talked about what all it takes to make a product and sell it.
• Our nature hike
• Junking. From hammerhead shaped cookie cutters, to ship in a bottle, to an M shaped yard decoration for Ms. Marquette.

So overall, this was an awesome class, and I am glad I had the opportunity to take it. Have a good summer everybody! Steve out!
