From completing the blog assignment this semester, I learned more about how to express my own ideas and opinions and being able to express them on a blog for others to read. Also, being able to comment on other blogs was a good way to expand and listen to different perspectives and even though you might share an idea with someone, the fact that it is still expressed differently makes it enlightening.
What really helped with the learning for this assignment was being assigned to blog groups where you would be able to actually go on their blog and make comments based on what they have written. It is kind of like a dialogue between the author and the intended audience used to convey a message, and I thought that contributed the most for making this a fun assignment.
This new knowledge is significant because it allows for us to be more open minded and consider each other’s views even if you disagree. There are many problems in society today and the more views we have and the more aware we are of what is happening, then it makes it easier to discuss.
Next, I think it is important to not disregard the blog so I can still have an idea of the hard work I put in to making it as interesting and influential as possible.
