assignment number one.

I first signed up for this course because it seems like an opportunity to develop some real-world skills and experience while still attaining credits toward graduation. It also looks like a class that would be something different than what I am used to.

I have limited experience blogging on myspace.com, but I think that once you have done it, it is something that is relatively easy to do.

My experience with community organizations is equally limited, but I was involved in a peer educated group at my high school. This, however, was not something that would be helped much by web activism.

I am interested in gaining experience working with an organization in a professional setting. This experience can help give me a taste of what can be accomplished through this kind of activism as well as orient me to this medium.

My interests are more oriented toward working with the community organization than with blogging. I am however excited to work with them in this specific way.
