I still feel most engaged when responding to other's blog posts and when creating my own. I did not have a chance to feel disengaged because I was not in class on Thursday and we did not have class on Tuesday. I'm a bit worried about responding to others' blogs. I don't see some of my committee members posts about the social conflicts and their resolutions. Would they have posted them elsewhere?
I was surprised to read a post that was something I also felt strongly about. I notice how most of the time during class, everyone has such different and strong opinions. This was like a breath of fresh air.
One of the learning outcomes that I feel I grasped well was to gain a deeper understanding through writing. Writing is such a great way to express oneself and to read others writing allows us to more fully understand them. When we write our own thoughts, we tend to dig deeper than we would if we were just speaking. When we speak, out thoughts tend to scatter everywhere and it's hard for us to make a complete sentence or idea. Writing is a way for us to do that, it helps one to get a point across, and it allows us to express something that wouldn't otherwise be told in such a way, or even at all.
