blog reflection

When first hearing that we were going to have to write down thoughts, about anything in general, I thought to myself “wow, this is going to be awesome.” I thought this because I never really got into blogging and thought they were pointless. My view point never really did change; I still feel blogs in general are pointless. But this blog had a more educational purpose to help expand our writings and techniques in writing.

But with it being a blog the only this I got was ideas from it. I never seemed to write in the correct academic way that I would have if I were asked to write it down and hand it in. I never wrote “proper” because it just didn’t feel right being on the internet at my age. I’s so prone to using my own abbreviations for everything that I found myself having to erase half of everything I typed to type it out properly.

At first the blog seemed to be showing signs that it was going to be completely unrelated to what it was intended for, but that quickly changed when we were given in class blogging assignments to jot down right away. But this also turned away many people from blogging because they figured well we are doing it in class so why should I do it now. In turn the in class blogging ceased to exist, and it seemed so did blogging period.

But with all that being done, it just shows that people who don’t want to, or just aren’t use to blogging, won’t blog. I for one am one of those people. There were of course others that seemed that blogging was a part of what they are accustomed to.
