As I signed up for this class, I was
not expecting to end up doing blogs for an entire semester. I was not sure
whether or not I would actually enjoy a class such as this, since I have never
had a blog. So, the idea of having to blog for an English class was a little
scary but at the same time exciting. At first when I was writing my first post,
I had no idea what exactly a blog post should look like or consist of. It was a
relatively new experience having to transition something so traditional to
something more modern.
I would try
to incorporate how I would normally write in a typical essay into my blog and
it seems to work. I suppose it was a little scary at first because it is
something that I was never familiar with. For me, the concept of blogging was not
hard at all. It was the idea of having to actually produce blog posts that had
troubled me.
After a few
posts, I started to get the hang of blogging about my topic. I actually started
to like the whole blogging process rather than writing essays after essays. It
allowed me more freedom to write about whatever that I wanted, given that it
was related to my topic. It was refreshing being able to take an English course
in a new more fun way. And if given the option to choose between blogs and essays, I would probably choose blogs.
This is good information--thanks for sharing it. I just wonder what happened over the last month: where were all those posts? We missed seeing your texts expand and learning even more about cybersecurity. I'm glad to hear that the experience was good for you and that you'd continue to blog.
ReplyDeleteJust think: you're going into an IT field and so gleaning information from blogs won't be a rare occurrence for you anymore!
I would just like to comment and say that your visual aids in your posts truly help the reader understand what is really going on. Also, since my desired profession is cyber security, this really helped me support my decision to invest my time into this field. Hopefully you and I would be able to talk about this so I could get a better grasp on cyber security basics.
