I was so excited when I found out that we were going to be blogging for class work. Since I have blogged in the past, I had a pretty good idea of what was going to be expected. But then, my anxiety kicked in. The course outline stated to not make this blog all personal, which I knew would be my biggest challenge. After looking back through the posts I have currently made, I feel as if I had succeeded with the task. I am very happy with the product I put out, and am happy to have had the opportunity to share my voice with others.
College is very demanding, especially when students work, and have a family at home. It was nice to have some type of interaction with the students in the class, but not by means of group projects. I really enjoyed this and I look forward to blogging again in the future. I feel as if it is a good escape and I enjoyed the me time!
Definitely keep this as part of the coursework since it is not something everyone does, and it may open up a new found appreciation to someone not expecting it!
I completely agree with you on the hardest part making the blogs not personal, that was the hardest part for me too!
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is actually very helpful in writing anything. Writing un-personal blogs taught me how to still make my writing personal, but in a professional way (if that makes sense).
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! Blogging is a really fun and unique way of writing compared to your typical 5 paragraph essays that we usually do in english class
ReplyDeleteI agree! I would have never thought that blogging would actually be enjoyable. I might do blogging in the future too. Who knows... :)
ReplyDeleteMelissa--Good final entry. Thanks for the comments and feedback. I am glad you found value in the blog project and enjoyed doing it too! Keep blogging!
