Final
Thoughts and Reflections
This class has been a great experience. When I
registered for this course I had no idea I would be blogging or creating brochures
and lesson plans. I was disappointed that I was unable to execute my Strategy
Presentation. I felt that it would have been a great experience to see how my
target audience responds to the presentation. The subject of bullying has been very
dear to me. In the recent news, there have been reports of elementary and
middle school kids committing suicide because of bullying. Also, it is the
technological age and cyber-bullying has run ramped in the young community. I
found that just telling a teacher is not always the answer. So I decided to
take a stand and reach out to the students. The overall goal is to help
students understand the effects of bullying and have them look out for each
other. The lesson plan and strategy presentation are designed to jump start
their knowledge of the effects of bullying and the paradigm. The lesson plan
went over the bullying paradigm and the strategy presentation was an overall
introduction to bullying, going over the effects and different forms.
Blogging has been a great experience! I have
read blogs in the past and never truly understood their function. Since this
course I have developed other blogs. My “Stand Up Against Bullying” blog has
been a great way to voice my health topic. Compared other strategies I felt
that blogging was enriching and a great way to reach out to my fellow
classmates.
