a reflection

In one of my workshops today, we talked about eliminating the reactionary in workshop facilitation and stuff. So, one example that Caryn, the head of the Transformative Language Arts program here came up with was online communication... Hmm... reactionary? me? Possibly. Also, she pointed out the lack of context available in emails. Tone, body language, etc. All things I'm aware of, sure, but it was kind of like she said it just to me.

There were way more important parts of that conversation... you know, cultural appropriation, ethical considerations of beginning our practicum, etcetera. Sometimes it's easier to think about the unimportant stuff. I'm trying to decompress a little. It's cold up here, and I ran out of wine.
