Before this class I don’t think that I would have written and shared. Before this class I never thought about posting any of my topics publically. Before this class I didn’t want to create or want a Twitter account as I already had a Tumblr account, plus I don’t think I would have tweeted much. It gives me a sense of pride to see something that I wrote to be on a website where others can view and comment on my writings. Usually writing things similar to my blog posts would only be written for the teacher to read. I think that using Twitter to post our thoughts and questions while reading and after reading the different articles and books really allowed for all of us to have a conversations back and fourth as if we were in the class room. It definitely helped that I could read others thoughts and views on the readings, so that I could get a better understanding of what’s happening in the article that the author is trying to convey before writing a response.
Thinking back on my posts, I’m glad that I worked on them and allowed myself to post them. Now that I think on it, hopefully our articles can help anyone else find information on our topics that we choose to write about. Some of the topics that we wrote about don’t always have a lot of information that comes up when searching, so it good to know that when people are trying to research it, they can always find some information from our blogs. Another thing that I liked about posting online was that I could get instant responses and feedback on what we wrote. What we did is a huge contrast of the first article we read about social media. While making the website to try and get the phone back it also caused a lot of problems for the girl that could have ended in her getting seriously hurt. But the posts that we posted are to inform and expand our knowledge on different subjects that we would otherwise not have heard about. It’s also good to know that what we wrote can be a resource for other students.
As this class comes to an end, I think I will keep my Twitter account as a way to promote my blog and to see what your new group of students’ thoughts and opinions are about what they are reading in your class. I would like to continue writing and posting blogs onto our website when I have the free time to do so, as I think the blog is a very good resource.
