What were the positive aspects of using the blogs in the course?

      The most positive part of using the blogs for this course was that they simply made these writing assignments fun! And of course, because of all this was an online deal, there was no need for making any hard copies to turn in. This was the only class I had that gave me the luxury of being able to turn in assignments in the comfort of my own bed! Another definite positive was that I got exposed to using blogs in general. I used to think that blogs were almost annoying, but through the blogs prompts I was able to get very deep in thought and personal with some of my posts. Now I see that blogs are perhaps the easiest most unofficial way of getting your opinion out into the media. The fact that we were also able to see everyone else’s blogs was also a positive thing. You were able to see what others thought about social, economical, and global issues involving the media. Perhaps even the creativity was challenged in designing you’re blog was something that came out as a great thing for me. I had no idea I was extremely picky with the presentation of any type of online work. So, I can’t imagine what type of web designer I would be. Blogging helped me realize this and I’m going to consider that a positive in my book.
