Reflections of a Semester gone by....

In past post I wrote about a project I was working on at school.  Our project was to promote eating not only local grown food, promoting farmer’s markets and such.  The ideas for the project to me seemed to come to our fairly easily.  We talked about our ideas openly and what the project goal was.   We discussed our schedules and what would work best for us in the way of communications.  I would like think that working on the project went well.   Of course there were always some issues.  Sometimes people ask what would you do differently.  I had hate questions like that.  I really do.  It seems to mostly be begging for you to focus on what went wrong or was screwed up.   It forces you to focus on the negative and could have beens instead of the positives and what you have achieved.  If I had to answer that question I might have said that I wished some would have taken it more seriously.  During this process I’ve learned that the media’s that are coming out will either fade away like myspace or grow into something that is everyday.    All this was really well explained in the book “Smarter than you think” by Clive Thompson, that I had to read.  But there are pitfalls and still things being argued over like Creative Commons and Copy rights.   I did find myself refreshing my memory on coding and programming through our class exercises.
