REFLECTION: WEEKS 9 & 10

Review
Well fortunately these last two weeks were not nearly as hectic as the previous weeks. During week 9 we mainly covered the 7th Responsibility of Health Educators which talked about advocacy. We also started our advocacy project by researching and finding our political representatives. Week 10 consisted of our photo essay, which in my opinion was the most entertaining thing we have done so far in this class. I thought everyone did a great job, and took their creativity to the max!

What did I learn about myself and the environment?
I learned that taking actual descent pictures is very time consuming. Honestly, I underestimated the photo essay and figured it would only take me a couple hours to complete. Well it actually ended up taking my whole afternoon/evening. I never thought about all the planning, thinking, and creativity that goes into one picture. Also, from doing my photo essay, I learned that it is very easy to reuse items in my house. It's also cheaper, and looks cool (for the most part).

What did I learn about blogging?
I learned that if you ever need to insert a list of pictures, you have to think backwards. In other words, insert the picture you want at the bottom of the list first, and the picture you want at the top of the list last! I did not do this, and found out the hard way that if you don't follow this "backwards to forwards" method, your pictures will disappear! And it is very frustrating! So next time I will most definitely avoid what I did this time.

Well hope everyone has a fun, safe weekend! Spring is almost here, can't you feel it in the air?

    I was getting pretty annoying putting my pictures up too! It was definitely quite a task.. I definitely enjoyed your photo essay, and it really showed that you put some time into it. Good job, and see you next week!

    Totally agreed! Photo taking is not that easy! Recently viewing Dr. V and Dr. T's photos makes me realize how much work and effort is put in to capturing the perfect image! you said it, it is work!:) Great job Ben!:)

  4. Ben~ I totally feel your pain about stupid blogger and it eating your pictures!! I think i might have posted the same picture 5 times before it stopped eating and it stayed where i wanted it to! It just must be because the pictures are so great it wants to keep it all to its self!!
