the first day

well, it was introduction day and looking at the course outline...we talked about personal backgrounds and expectations of the course and had litle history lessons of different reserves and where they are at as far as Public Relations...We received our books and managed a schedule quite quickly for the upcoming semster. It is a different classroom setting, very comfortable and the facility is very accomodating. Everyone that has shared today confirms even more so that we are alike. Taking the Public Relations course at Mohawk College is proving more so to be a whole different learning experience, and I am excited to be a part of this course that is said to be a cohort of "TRAILBLAZERS"...I anticpate the new learning and I am excited to once again be a part of a trailblazing group of crazy scones, lol. The feeling of the group is diversity, respect, and attentive...As for learning today, well I have never done a blog before and I have never thougth of a portfolio of myself before (in a public relations aspect), and i have learned a bit about everyone here. We also looked at ways of learning in "Native Learning Styles", an alternative approach to learning other than the western way, which is read it, memorize it, pass the test and then get the "paper"...and then get the job and it defines you....where as we are different. And everyone here knows what the heck it means.
