Reflection: Week 1-7

Reflection:

Weeks 1-2: I didn't really know what to expect coming into this class. I had little knowledge about blogging and how to create my own blog. This class makes blogging very easy and goes slow enough for me to catch on without any problems. The first two weeks were pretty laid back, we just set up our blog and watched a 60 Minutes video on Rewriting the Sciences. This video talked about the how the government has been hiding science that has information regarding global warming.

Weeks 3-4: These two weeks we learned more about blogging and different features. We also got web groups of people's blogs we had to read and comment on. I also created my eco-chic lifestyle change activity where I created a SMART goal. My goal was to use less paper products, such as paper plates, cups, napkins, and eat fast food only once a week. I really enjoyed this change and found that making one small easy change leads to making more small changes. Like I started washing my dishes by hand instead of using the dishwasher. We also did a few fun outdoor activities with a jump rope and a meditation type of activity.

Weeks 5-7: We watched "Future of Food". This was a great video that showed how genetically modified foods affect farmers and the food we eat. We also watched "Fresh". This video showed where our food was coming from and how animals were being treated. So we need to keep in mind where the food at the supermarket is coming from and how it is processed. All the videos we watched have really got me thinking about where the food and drinks I am consuming are coming from. So far I have enjoyed and learned something from every video we have watched in class.

Overall, this class has been very enjoyable between the blogging, videos, class room discussion, and now we just got introduced to junking so I am looking forward to that the next few weeks!
