Final Blog
In this semester, it was useful to get to know more about the resources and sources that provide accurate information about products and environmental hazards. Toxnet is the best! The videos were so poignant and moving...they really had an effect by inspiring me to have a greener lifestyle. I even accepted a summer internship at the Center of Environmental Health. This semester, it has become even more real to me that improving and maintaining environmental health is unjustly a low priority in the current political agenda. We need more lobbying in the government.
Because I was asked to share my opinion about the small group blogging experience, I will be honest in telling you that there were too many steps. I prefer the CANVAS conversation threads, because it keeps everything in one place rather than jumping from blog to blog and memorizing the blog addresses of fellow group members. Perhaps, it may be perceived as "laziness," but it is an unnecessary step in the thousands of things we need to remember.
Hi Allyssa,
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed the blogs in the class. They were challenging to write on at times when I wasn't familiar with the topic, but having you and Katie to share your insights on the topic helped me to push myself to understand more of the issues and topics covered in the field of Public Health. I too enjoyed the topics we covered with ToxNet and the campaign we wrote together. Your thoroughness and application of personal knowledge in your posts really showed your command on the topics. I wish you the best of luck on finishing strong this semester and throughout the program!
