Blog Reflection

Blog Reflection
I think that the blogging experience for this class was overall a good experience. I have not had a previous blog or live journal or anything of that kind on the internet so this was new to me. I do not usually volunteer my writing for peer comments or often have anyone read it, so this opened up my mind to it and it turned out to be a positive thing. I think I may actually keep up the blog, not with assignments, but with posts about random thoughts.

I also enjoyed reading the other student’s blogs. It was interesting to see the variety of setups of their blogs and their names for them. It helped me with my own assignments sometimes to get an idea about what I was supposed to do. It is nice to be able to go back on the blog and be able to look at my previous assignments because I usually forget about them once I turn them in. But in this case I could look at my progress. I really liked that we got to do a personal blog about anything. That kept it from getting boring or too structured. Blogging our assignments made the whole experience more visual and interesting. It was nice to not have to actually turn in a physical copy of our assignments because on the blog we could edit the font and colors and make it more attractive. I also liked that we did not have to print out our assignments because it saved paper that way.
