The first 2 weeks in Environmental Health have been very uneventful environment learning wise in my eyes. I can see why this is of course, as we just started the course and have been trying to get these blogs under way and working! I really liked the first day of class when Dr. V showed us the power point trip Washington, DC and how the different monuments had sayings about the environment on them. I thought that it made us think in out of the box ways, and started getting us in the mindset on how much the environment impacts our life.
Over the first 2 weeks, I have learned a lot about blogs and how to make them very "your own". I had to use blogs in my Computers in Education class, but never this in-depth or this on a schedule. It took me awhile to learn where all of the special features were and fine tweak my page so it looked and had the content of what we wanted. Some of the things that this included were: following blogs, comment on other students blogs, how to add special features to my own blog and make my page looked like I wanted it to look. Although I found it difficult at first to capture what exactly was expected of us and when and where things had to get done, it's making much more sense now that it's actually happening.
After being in class and hearing about what's going to happen over the semester, I am now very excited to be in this class! I've never had an environmental class before, although I do have an interest in learning about the environment, so being in this will be a new experience for me and hopefully teach me many things.

Hey Heather, I agree with you about not knowing how to do blogs. I had a computer in education class as well and it is not this extreme. I really liked the Washington D.C website as well. Good luck with your blog!
ReplyDeleteHeather! Your blog looks great, I wouldn't have known you were struggling with it at all. I also took The Computer in Education and found it gave a great overview of blogs but nothing compared to the expectations of this course. I'm glad you're excited for Environmental Health and I hope we all learn a thing of two about ways we can help to improve our surroundings. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, I really like your page! I haven't taken an environment class before either and think it will be very interesting! I almost forgot that she showed us pictures from D.C. with the quotes on them, I really liked it as well! Good luck with your blog and the rest of the semester!
ReplyDeleteThe header is beautiful! Love the avatar, too! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteHey Heather!
ReplyDeleteYour avatar is so you!
I agree, the first week was kind of slow but I am glad you brought up the Washington DC PowerPoint! Almost forgot about that, but it was a very important part of this course.
And also, being in Computers in Ed-I wish we worked on blogs a little bit more! But it looks like you have the hang of it!
See you in class!
p.s. I like your signature!
