This class has been an incredibly difficult and rewarding experience for me. I had never even looked at a blog before, and now I feel like I want to start my own, based on my local area.

I have learned how to cite sources in photos, insert photos, choose different layouts and color schemes, change where things are at, and how they are connected to each other, and edit and re-editing.

Some of the new concepts and theories I have learned about is gender discrimination, the gender gap, how Lego is attempting, and failing, and including girls in their play themes, views of both sides of the gender gap, feminist pedagogy, how to look at technology through the lens of who is driving the development of products and why, and how different students view the world and the subjects we wrote about.

I do plan on using my blog in the future, after graduation, and using all of the techniques I learned in this class as well as things I will learn in the future!

I think it is interesting that there can be cultures that will accept technology but only to a certain degree. These are not places without water who are not using washing machines, they choose not to because they view manual labor as a woman’s responsibility. I think it is something that will be hard to overcome. The concern regarding efficiency and top loaders vs front loaders and cost/effectiveness is something that I am sure we will be hearing more about as our government issues further regulations regarding water and electricity usage.

Looking ahead, my greatest dream is to get my degree, and after that, I really don’t know. Maybe travel to Italy, Hawaii, Australia. Open a bakery, get healthy and fit. See my kids graduate from college and watch their lives unfold as they make their way into the world.
