Hello musicians, dancers, stone carvers, candle makers, palm frond weavers, storytellers, Muslim sheikhs, Christian priests, and Arabic calligraphers...
I am excited for this class. Excited to learn and excited to have my eyes opened to a culture that I fear I am ignorant of. As I read through other people's first posts I have found that my fears seem quite the opposite. Technology does not scare me. I can do technology. I hold no reservations toward the blogging world or the idea of seeing myself on camera. My fear is that I do not know enough. I fear that this space as well as the classroom will become a stage. That we will all attempt to perform in how knowledgeable we are and that I will fall short. I have stumbled into this class with very few preconceived notions and I am ready to learn. I am encouraged hear Amiry speak about the layers of the city. To hear her say that "behind the doors there are more discoveries" and there are aspects of culture and life she still does not understand. I understand this statement and I'm ready to learn. Bring on the doors and all their discoveries...
