Metacognitive Blog

Overall I think this has been a very productive semester. I've learned a lot from emotional intelligence to virtual high schools. I've also helped others learn this semester, from helping Dr. Keane with her workshop at Lower Richland High School to us giving our own OpenOffice Calc workshop at the Lowman Home. All in all it has been a very rewarding experience and definitely one I won't soon forget. I've learn that it's not only very important to gain as much knowledge as you possibly can, but to share it with others so that they will be able to help themselves more along the way. If I haven't done anything this semester I can surely say that I have accomplished that. I've learned a lot more than I expected in these few short months and I've definitely helped others to learn a lot more than I expected to also.

Dr. Keane told us that the workshop that Randall and I gave is one the ones that the residents requested for next time. I'm glad to hear that they enjoyed it so much. After giving the workshop I thought that they would just toss what we gave them to the side and forget about it. Obviously, that's not the case since they said they would like more of OpenOffice Calc. I must admit, when we were first assigned this project I just looked at it as another task to complete to get through this course. Now that I see how well everyone responded to it I'm very proud of the job that both Randall and I did. I never imagined the response we got would be as accepting as it's been. If there is one thing that I have learned from this project it is to be more enthusiastic and optimistic towards the tasks that I'm assigned because just because it may seem somewhat meaningless to you you never know what it may mean to whoever is on the receiving end.
