Justin E. Fogle's Learning Journal

At the first Intensive of the Fall 2009 Quarter at BGI, we at the "Social Web for Social Change" Class did an exercise in tagging ourselves. We laid out what we thought of ourselves, what were our key characteristics and then the fun part...

WE TAGGED EVERYONE IN CLASS!

So we took those tags along with our own tags and looked them over to create tags that showed who we are. I ended up with the following 3 tags (created from the other tags):

• Engaged at many levels
• Actively compassionate
• Creatively and analytically balanced.

These wonderfully embraced myself, who I work to be and the goals that I set out for myself. This was an exercise in collaboration and also of inner reflection. One that I love looking back on and something I hope to bring forward in my life.

Tags that were from the previous sessions by others:
Traveler, Green Building, energetic, creative, intense, focused, peaceful dude, compassionate, bubbling well, Big Bear, engaged lover man, strong hands

Tags I gave myself:
Creative yet analytic, Green Building Guru, "Obese" but athletic, Kilt-Loving, Fatherly, Passionate about equality, loving transportation systems, Technology
