For IDE 611 one of the class assignments was to create a blog and post discussions on assigned topics. As I reflect on my fist time blogging, I would say overall the writing in itself was an enjoyable experience. My topics were social networking and virtual worlds, I find them both interesting and with a little guidance from the professor I begin applying my profession to the topic. I felt that made it a little easier to write my blogs. I’ve also enjoyed writing about things of interest so once I was able to tie the topics to my profession, I was also able to gain interest in the actual topic.
Although I enjoyed the writing aspect of blogging, I really struggled to keep up with the blogging. In addition to the blogging, we (the students) were also responsible for posting weekly discussions and facilitating one of the discussions. I was also taking three other courses and teaching full time. To say I bit off a little more than I could chew would be an understatement. As a result I did not meet all of the requirements for this particular assignment. However, for my first time blogging it was a positive experience overall. I’m hoping to continue and eventually create a culinary blog that introduces unique topics.
