Blogging

I would just like to say I really dislike blogging.  I dont know if its because I keep thinking about for this class, but from now on I associate blogging with annoying. Just a thought.

Deciding which face...

I've been struggling with how to go about my final project.  I have been seriously considering a few ideas but Rachida's last post truly inspired me.  Strong and determined are who I am.  Now I'm not saying  I'm the strongest person, I still feel broken at times, but the fact that my life has been exceptionally difficult and I've managed to maintain "some kind" of normalcy has to mean something.  The fact that I still have battles to fight in my personal life and something keeps pushing me to keep fighting also shows I'm strong.  I dont know how I'll create the final product, but thanks Rachida.

Using Rubistar

One very useful tool I take from this class is learning how to use rubistar.  Although this is my final education course, this is the first time I have been introduced to this site.  I like to keep things simple and concise, and this site is one that I will undoubtedly use in my teaching career.

Sharing Stories With Partners

Sharing personal stories with a partner was an activity I didnt think I would do in this class.  There were many stories I could have shared but the ones I shared with my partner did capture a sense of who I am.  Although they were very personal stories, they are a part of who I am.  A very insightful activity.

Group Presentation

I really feel fortunate about my the group I ended up joining for this weeks assignment.  They are all so serious about getting the work done on time and making it as thorough a project as possible.  I did find it a little difficult to communicate through email only as each of us have very different schedules.  But I am happy to say my group members have been great and I appreciate all their help!

Revised Bibliography Assignment

Since I missed the first day of class, Professor Marra asked those who did not attend to add to someone's already completed annotated bibliography.  I thought this assignment would be interesting because it will develop each topic significantly.  Reviewing our collegues' bibliographies and adding on with new resources will make for a topic that is approached from a variety of perspectives and in more detail.  It was a little more difficult to find sources others have not already used, so that was the challenging part.
