What I've learned so far in this class is to be more aware. I've learned about how much I personally impact or affect the environment, and how humans in general impact the environment. Putting into perspective how many resources I use, I realized that although I recycle, I really don't do too much to help the environment or be eco-friendly.
I also learned how to blog. I didn't know about all the gadgets you can put on a blog. I think I'm getting pretty good about doing everything on blogger now. From blogging, I learned that it's a really good way to get information out that you want others to see or be aware of.
After seeing the Bagley Classroom, I learned that there are different materials out there that are better for the environment that we could be using to save energy. It was really interesting to learn how they made the building and what they made it with.
The book I'm reading is teaching me all about the plastic waste we use and how it affects the environment. It's a very interesting read and I can't wait to read more. So far this class has been a big eye-opener and I'm excited to learn more!
I've learned a lot about blogging also. This class has taught us a lot in just a few short weeks!
ReplyDeleteI agree that this class has been a big eye opener! I have learned so much in such a short time!
ReplyDeleteI think blogging is becoming my new addiciton. It is replacing my facebook time! (How sad is that?) We have learned so much from each other because of these blogs.
ReplyDeleteThis class has made me aware of things I did not even know were a part of my life. It truely is an 'eye opener' and I can not wait to see what the rest of the semester has to offer.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Being more aware is the first step to really making changes in our own lifestyles and others! I'm also excited that UMD is on board with buildings like the Bagley Classroom!
