The blog assignment for this class
is the first blog that I have ever written and have kept up with. I did write a
one-time post blog for another class that I had taken last year but that was
the only other time and it wasn’t continuous like this blog was. I will say
that it was difficult for me to remember to keep up with the different book
posts for the blog. I am just not a blog person and so this was a new
experience for me to post in a blog. However, I am glad that I had the
opportunity to create and post in a blog for class because it made me try
something new that I normally wouldn’t have done on my own.
For
this blog, I tried to find nonfiction books that I had not read or have heard
of before and I used the resources that were available on the syllabus and
class resources. I was also looking at authors of those books to see what else
they had written to see if their other books were about the same topic or
similar. I did think it was fairly easy to comment on other blogs. I enjoyed
looking at what others had created in their blog and what nonfiction books they
chose to write about. There were some very creative blogs that I looked through
and made comments about. Links to the comments that I made:
