I can’t believe the semester is almost over

It seems like just yesterday I was writing my first blog and wondering what I would be able to talk about every week in multiple blogs. As the weeks went on blogging got easier and easier until I am able to articulate my thoughts in what I believe to be a very coherent manner. This was my first adventure into blogging, and I wasn't sure how I would like it at first. I now enjoy it, and think of it as a valuable asset to the class in general. Not only am I able to put my opinions out there, but I enjoy reading what other students have to say on certain topics as well.
I prefer when we are given some guidance on what to blog about during that week, or at least having one required blog and one or two blogs that can be about whatever we want. I find it's easier to organize my thoughts when I have a specific goal or direction that needs to be accomplished and followed. My favorite blogging topic is actually one of our recent ones. I really enjoyed looking up a blog from someone outside of the class and commenting on it. The new opinion was refreshing as well as interesting. I had never heard of Technorati, or knew that you could look up blogs like a regular internet search before this class. I think it is interesting that people blog about the topics we discuss in class for no particular reason. it is amazing to me what people chose to focus on in everyday life when they write a blog. I thought the author I chose for my comments was relatively smart. I read some of his other postings and thought he had some good points and interesting perspectives.
To me, the most enjoyable aspect of the class this year was the blogging. This also includes the various information that I was able to come across while researching for some of my blog topics. I think blogging would be a valuable asset to any class, and not just a communication one either.
