As a student of Pittmann’s class, it was my duty
this semester to polish my writing skills and become a good blogger. So not
only, did I had to write for class, but I also had to write good material for
the whole internet world to see. Also, it’s an interactive blog, which means
that people can comment and give you feedback about your works. What made the
blog more interesting was that it was not simply a copy and paste version of
our past works. Instead, we could aggregate photos, videos, gifs, links and
customized it as we pleased. In other words, we could give the viewers a taste
of our style and personality through multimedia.
I believe that the blog activity gave
every student the chance to be creative and play with the different ways we
could make our written works gain more personality. I liked the blog activity
because the professor gave us the liberty of choosing the written works that we
preferred to publish in it. Therefore, it gave me a chance to evaluate my writing
throughout all the semester, and choose the works that I believed represented
me better as a writer. The blog also gave me the opportunity to improve my
writing skills and confidence. It’s hard to expose your thoughts in the
internet because many people can see your works and sometimes be very judgmental
about them. Therefore, I had to be extremely open to good and bad criticism at
all times.
In
conclusion, by seeing my classmates blogs I got a lot of inspiration and
knowledge. Through criticism and seeing other blogs, I improved my blog the
best I could. Every new post, felt like a new creation and accomplishment.
Finally, after achieving the ten blogs I was
very proud of all the things I had learned during the process.
