Reflective Thoughts So far

I am already noticing a difference in the way I approach reading tasks and everyday events.  At first, the Blog was a difficult medium to get used to; however, after the first couple of entries I feel much more comfortable writing here.

One major difference I notice about myself is that I am constantly noticing more words.  I notice interesting words in my academic readings, personal readings, and even in the shower on my shampoo bottle! 

I think this project is well worth our while in understanding the VSS model.  By acting as "students" we actually experience the essence of the VSS model.  In addition, the student nomination of words is so important.  When the burden or accountability lets say, is placed on the student, the student is significantly more motivated to complete the task and be more engaged.  I already notice the change in how I view the world only after the few weeks we have been charged with this assignment.
