Course: Hopeful Citizenship for the 21st Century
Institution: Saint Mary's College
Faculty: Megan Zwart
Assignment
Learning Activities (LA) and reflective journals (600 points)
If philosophy is training for living well, then we need to practice philosophical living!
Throughout the semester, there will be six activities that students need to complete, which will ask them to undertake a specific practice and then reflect on that experience in a journal.
Journals should be about 500-600 words and should include specifics of what practice they adopted, how it went, and what they learned from it. Journal entries will be graded according to the journal rubric.
Learning activity 3 is focused on curiosity.
LA 3: Curiosity
Social Media Inventory. Our engagement with technology can either stoke our natural curiosity or stifle it. A key to wise use of social media is an accurate reflection on how you are using it, how it is serving you, and how you feel before, during and after use of social media. Monitor your social media usage for 48 hours and reflect on what you notice. What is serving you about your social media usage? What isn’t serving you? How do you feel before, during and after you spent time online/on social media?
