Wednesday's Activity

I really enjoyed the discussion we had regarding citizen journalism. It was interesting to be in a classroom that was completely silent except for the rapid tapping of keys while everyone typed responses. Also, it was less intimidating to convey your ideas in written form than it was to raise your hand and respond to the questions aloud. We also got a bit of entertainment by way of the drawings that were being posted as we had our conversation. It felt like more people contributed to the exercise than they would have if they were expected to speak in class. A lot of people made some very interesting comments. I would enjoy having another discussion in that forum because of the contributions of everyone in the class as well as the entertainment that was provided.
