Conclusion

I chose to do a blog for a few reasons. First off, I wanted to be able to pick out topics that I thought were interesting. A lot of times, teachers assign projects about topics that they find interesting, and that they know a lot about, while many times students (especially the ones that do not know to much about sports) (ME) are not able to really but their heart into the assignment. Another reason I wanted to do a blog, was because I had never created a blog. I though it would be a fun project, and something I could look back at after the class was over.

One thing that I really enjoyed about the blogging process what being able to read other students posts, as well as their posts on my blogs. It was very interesting to see what some of the students that did not have much to say during class, thought about certain topics, and about what others said during the class period. If I were to change anything about the blogging assignment, I would have set more due dates for blogs. I would sometimes forget that I had to do the blogs until they were mentioned in class, so I would have to rush to finish them before they were due.

Throughout this process, I learned a lot about others opinions. I learned that it was very important that somethings you say or write can be taken in the wrong way, so you should always make sure you are being politically correct, and not saying something others will take offense to.

I think that it is a great idea to give students the options to make a blog, journal, or write a paper, because each student is different may be able to do their best work in their own way. I think that if I would make any more set requirements, I would make only one post due per week, and keep it about a paragraph or so long. Also I think that people should have to post a picture, or a video (just because I think it makes it more interesting) Also, I think that we should sign up to a group to blog with in the beginning of the semester, because then people would feel more motivated to actually keep up with their blogs and post on others.

I think that in the future I will create a new blog, maybe not able sports, but about current topics. After I graduate, I want to become a wedding coordinator. I think that a blog would be a great way to show current clients, and potential clients different weddings I have created, and showcase some of my favorite vendors.
