Blogs this semester

I actually really enjoyed doing the blog posts this semester. I had never really done a blog post before this class, so it was all very new to me! In high school, I had always looked at some of the CNN pages just to keep up with the current events going on in the world. Which is probably what I enjoyed most about doing the blogs. It kept me notified on what is going on! Especially since almost every blog, I wrote about some sort of current event or news story.  I, personally, love that this course requires us to do the blogs! It not only, keeps us up to date with different news stories., it also makes us keep up with the course itself. Which can also be a lot of people's downfall. I know that it hurt me some. For instance, if you don't remind yourself that you have an online course, you'll forget about it. The weekly post helped with that. There were a few weeks, I procrastinated and then there were the weeks that I just forgot. That is the only thing that I would have done differently. I believe I would have been more organized and consistent with my work, if I were to take the class again. After this, I highly doubt I will continue to blog but I do plan to keep looking at the CNN web sites and others, just to have an idea of where the world is at with politics, natural disasters, etc.
As for the blogs making a difference for my writing, possibly. It definately couldn't have hurt it much. Anytime people are able to write, it improves their knowledge or writing itself. No, I don't think that the blogs made me a perfect writer but it might have improved my skills a bit. All in all, I absolutely loved this course & the way it was organized. I believe it is the best approach for an online english course!
