Final Class

What a wonderful job everyone did on their controversial issues project. I learned a lot through listening to the viewpoints and examples brought up by every group. What Kecia said makes perfect sense in the grand scheme of things. If you ban one book, you have to ban the others. I never thought of it that way, but she is absolutely right. Banning literature is like opening a can of worms or scratching at a scab.

Copyright Project

I am pleased with the product I created for my copyright project. I think it is a way to think outside the box and get the staff buy in. I loved the idea of creating a game that would involve students and staff, and I think this would be a fun way to learn new information and reinforce important copyright laws and guidelines.

I pitched it to my media coordinator as a possible event to coordinate with Copyright Awareness Week in March. I told her I would totally help run it. We shall see!

Controversial Issues Presentation

I was very pleased with my group's presentation online. What a challenge, but what an accomplishment to say we were able to work together as a group to the very end to figure out how to present our project in the virtual world. I'm so thankful to have worked with these girls!
