Blog Reflection: for Tuesday, March 10

For today's post, please write a short (1 paragraph) reflection about what your experience has been so far with using a blog in English 150.

I'm not very interested in comments on the logistics of the blogs (number of posts and comments per week) or on suggestions about other online locations for the blog, largely because we've discussed these things already.

What I am interested in is how the blog has facilitated your learning and/or your writing. Here are a few questions that may help you as you write your reflection (you may focus on just one, on several, or write about something related): What has been your overall experience with the blog? What have been your favorite blogs posts? What have been your least favorite blogs posts? Have certain types of posts really helped you with your writing? Has the discussion through blog comments helped your learning? Do you feel like you've participated in true discourse with your peers? To you, what are the advantages and disadvantages of a blog over traditional assignments of the same size? Does the fact that all of your peers are going to read what you write change how/what you write? Give specific examples if it fits with your reflection.

Types of comments that will be useful: Build off of what your peer has said--if they wrote about a different aspect of the blog than you, then comment about that aspect as well. If you disagree with something they said, feel free to share. Or if something in their blog post really resonates with you, share why you agree and give a personal example.
