Blog Reflection

My experience as a blogger has been interesting. I haven't been too enthusiastic about blogging and I've had trouble posting certain assignments. I had difficulty responding to chapters in the book. I found it difficult to say anything about the forms and strategies we were supposed to use according to the textbook and that is why I'm missing a few posts. I preferred the assignments where we were responding to a work or article that expressed an idea that we could argue or agree with. I appreciated the free-flowing form of these blogs as opposed to strict writing that we might have had to type up and print out in the correct forms. Blogging helped gather ideas and served as preliminary writing for some of my papers. I was helped by looking at other student's blogs to see their ideas and the ways they were approaching certain prompts. I found commenting on others' blogs could be an interesting place for an exchange of ideas and opinions. Overall, I didn't jump into blogging as whole-heartedly as I could have, but I still found it interesting.
