Just want to say at first that blogging is fun, i do it for my self, but this class it was hard for me because i never remembered to get it done and as a result i dont feel like i ever gave the assingments enough time and thought. i know that, that is all on me and i should have gotten it together.
I think that creating a online community for the class is a really good idea. i am no so sure how much it was effective in this situation becasue alot of people might have felt all they need to do is make sure they write thier blog and then say something, anything on the other peoples blog. im not sure how that could have been changed but if there was a way to make it more interactive and constant i think that they would have made it even more of a great experience.
One the things that the blog did accomplish was really helping me look and further understand and digest the in class activites which i wouldnt have done unless i had to think about them after they happened. it also let me see in to other peoples methods and ways og getting things done. and i think that they is a really valuable thing becasue lets say i am ever in one of these kind of situations i not only have the experince that i got from what i did but i can see what other people did and learn form thier actions. it gives me a whole different level of knowdgle that i would not otherwise would have.
I think that its a super creative way to get extra control over your own grade. and i was clear about how much it was worth but it was still hard when you have like 8 million things going on and you always have to be like.. "Crap i need to blog" and then you forget and an hour later you think the samething again. Will i continue to blog on this blog... probobly not, unless i tyhink that there is something really relevent that i need to put it on. Do i think people will read this blog after the semester is over... not really unless it is like freinds and this is how they are going to keep in touch. i will continue to blog in the online world and maybe some management topics will get in there some how.
I appreciate your honestly, for most of us we only mention the good of this assignment but you are true to your feelings. I also feel that may a reminder or two often would have kept the class on point because although it was free to interpret how you desired,the fact that it was an out of class assignment on another link, other than blackboard, even i tended to forget and actually missed a whole blog. Darnit! We are adults and should keep ourselves organized but I do have to agree that with taking other classes and internship and being president of an organization, blogs sometimes gets forgotten under the list of tasks I have to do in a day. All in all it did help me also digest and be able to not just regurgitate the information but understand it. Good luck on finals!
