Reflections: Week 1 and 2


The first two weeks of Environmental Health have been mainly an introduction to the course and learning how to use Google Blogger. The first week I enjoyed when Dr. V showed us pictures of Washington, DC and brought photos into a different perspective. She used photography and quotes to show us that Environmental Health is very important and that we all can make a difference.


This second week focused more on blogging. We were taken through a step by step process on how to create and make our own blogging space. It was quite a learning experience. Some of it was complicated and other parts were really fun. I like being creative and I'm still working on my page to make it original. A few more weeks of this class and I'm sure I'll be whipping through these blogs and adding more advanced features!


I'm excited for what is to come of this class throughout the semester. I look forward to learning about specific environmental issues and continuing my blogging adventures.
