I love to learn new things, so the fact that we had to create our own blog for the purpose of this class was a great learning experience for me. Since I am not an enthusiast of virtual communities I would probably not come across blogging for a long time if not for this class.
Great majority of Baruch students, including me, are people who have a lot of responsibilities outside of school, but in addition to that, they want to obtain excellent education. I feel like one of the thing that is difficult to upkeep for students like us, who try to juggle so many things and usually exchange only a quick hi or bye, is the learning about and from each other experience that if not more important, then probably at least as useful as book knowledge. I think that this blog writing assignment gave us some ground to maintain this contact with other classmates.
The assignments that I liked the most were the ones that asked for reflecting on our group class activities such as, the eggscellent way to plan and our whole class debate on our grades. Writing these blogs made me think about the actual group processes that took place and about group dynamics. Although I didn’t comment a lot, I found the topics that were posted on the professor’s blog very interesting and a great way to think about my own position on some issues.
I have never liked writing diaries and a blog is a kind of a diary so I don’t think that I will continue to post my thoughts right after this class ends. However, I am going to keep the account for my blog. I believe that whatever I learn now may be useful in the future, and the familiarity with writing blogs may prove to be one of these things.
