Class #3 Library

Today in RTH 252 Innovative Activities, we went to the Technology Center to focus on creditable article searches for our up coming paper. From this class, I feel much more comfortable using the Library data base and know exactly where and how to use the site. Key helpers were how to create an account on the site to save searches, how to us quotation with grouped words (e.g. "Therapeutic Recreation") and how to us astrics with cut off words (e.g. teen* for teens or teenagers).

Response to Class #1

In todays class we did tape art. Instead of working on our own, we worked in groups which made the activity even more "therapeutic." From the activity I will take away 1. Safty precautions when working with different populations, 2. The variety of  different ways this activity can bennifit differing populations, and 3. That "innovative" describes not only the origionality of the materials in an activity, but also the origionality of the ideas and planning of the participants.
