PictureOne of my blogs
The BioBlogs I did during this school year helped me share information with the world. One of our 21st century skills was to be able to use technology to communicate with others effectively. By using blogs as my means of communication, I was able to share my mana'o on a larger scale. Not only did I get to share the information with my teacher and classmates by the usage of the blogs, my information is now online, so anyone who wants to learn is able to look at them. Being able to share information is very important because according to an article done by Nature, majority of Americans are science illiterate. This means that majority of Americans are unable to make informed decisions about science topics. For example, banning hand sanitizers has been a something to consider for a while now. However, the people that are pro-banishment don't realize that hand sanitizers aren't the problem. According to the Red Queen Hypothesis, bacteria has evolved, so to avoid extinction, humans must evolve to keep up to par with the bacteria. I spoke about this topic in my BioBlogs. By discussing this topic in my BioBlog, I was able to put up information that was accurate and well-supported with evidence from multiple sources. This blog could possibly educate someone who was science illiterate and make them understand that topic, thus making them one step closer to being science literate. As a reflection, I think BioBlogs endorse a student's learning by providing them with opportunities to educate others with accurate information, promoting science literacy.

Mr. Patino's feedback on blogs had a positive impact on my intellectual growth over the school year. His feedback provided a new perspective on the information that I had learning. His feedback has made me reflect and really assess my working habits. For one, I have improved my self-assessing skills because due to Mr. Patino's feedback, I realized how to more effectively communicate with others. The personal one-on-one communication between Mr. Patino and I helped me learn how to communicate with teachers on a regular basis in a professional, efficient matter. In conclusion, I think future students should listen to Mr. Patino's feedback because he helped me become a more improved, intellectual student.

“You can have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is the action. Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results, and no reward” - Don Miquel Ruiz, Tolteca leader
