To be honest I wasn’t the biggest fan of blogs before. In one of my previous classes, my professor made us do blogs on things we read for the class (none of which I was interested). I use to hate doing the blogs because I thought they were annoying to do, but I was more interested in the things we learned in this class than in my previous classes. When we did our first couple of blogs I actually started to like blogging because we were given more freedom on what we can write. It was a much easier way to communicate with my classmates and express my views at the same time.
Blogging is becoming a more essential part of our hi-tech society, where everything is done through the internet. Learning how to blog is a great skill because I’m sure in the future many of us will need to create our own blogs for our jobs. Writing blogs from now gives us first hand exposure on blogs.
Probably the best part of blogging is it’s a easy way to boost your grade because you’re getting 20% of your grade for just expressing yourself. I wish other professors would do this as well. And it also allows people who are shy to communicate their ideas to the class without feeling embarrassed. Overall, I thought the idea of blogging was a great idea.

I cannot imagine blogging on readings. That sounds very boring. I am very glad that i had the opportunity to be a part of this new innovative way of communication, while at the same time learning management. It would be an extremely different experience if we had to blog about the management textbook. I agree that in the future blogging will be much more accessible and practical. That is why i am impressed that i had the experience to blog in college.
ReplyDeleteThere are other professors that made you blog?? This was the only class that I've ever heard of blogging for class before. I liked how we became in control of those 20% of my grade just by easily telling the class about my opinions and reflecting back on the activity we did in class. And there was a percentage of freedom on what to write for the blog. Do I want to write more blogs for other classes? I guess this would really depend on what subject class that I would be blogging for. It would be horrible if I had to blog about things I had no interest in.
