Blog Reflection- 12/4
Well, to be perfectly honest, when I heard that we had to do blogging I was not too happy. I am the most technologically impaired person I have met- I don't really like computers nor do I know how to work them or the internet all too well. But, once we got it set up and started doing the posts I began to like it more. Not only did I learn how to blog (and what exactly it was), but I was able to read other people's assignment reflections, and what they wrote about, which was nice because it gave another person's insights and ideas into something. I'm not sure if blogging really "enhanced" my learning, per say, but it opened my eyes to the "blogging world" and to different ideas that fellow peers blogged about. I think that blogging is kind of cool because you could be able to keep an online diary, but overall I don't think I really like it that much. As for the midterm evaluation, I would definitely have to agree that when I'm not trying to sound intelligent my point comes across clearer. I think that I have been trying to work with that not only in the blogs but also my papers, which I'm not too too sure is a good idea, but we'll see! Anyways, overall blogging for me was a learning experience.

I definitely agree with many of your points Annalina, and I as well am very technologically impaired! Blogging has become one of the most common ways of online communicating out there and I thought it was great to not only learn about the blogging world, but to also be a part of this popular phenomenon. Though I did not like the idea of a blogging project when Professor Schubert first assigned it, as it went on, I really enjoyed blogging my own thoughts and ideas about various topics, as well as viewing others in comparison to my own! Overall, as with you, I am not sure I really learned anything from blogging, as you had stated as well, but I was pleased with the project and its goals in general.
I felt the same way about blogging at first. I was a little hesitant at first because I am also not very good with computers and the whole idea sounded kind of boring. As the class progressed and we became more familiar with blogging I started enjoying it as well. I also think this was a great learning experience for everyone in the class because it was something different and interesting.
