Blog Reflection

When the professor mentioned for the first time I felt thrilled with the idea. At first I thought it would be awkward since I had to publish my personal thoughts and anyone who wanted to would read it. I did in fact; get over that uncomfortable feeling fast enough which made writing easier. I had never worked so well with a group of people, that to be honest, I barely knew. The blog assignment gave me the opportunity to get to know a lot better my classmates and develop more confidence with every one of them. I did feel worried in the beginning since I was named task manager of the group which made me feel a little pressured but our communicating skills with each other made those worries go away since they all worked so well and did an exceptional job doing the assignments on time.

                I finally learned how to use blogger, which I was completely unaware, existed, and quickly went on the mission with Carlos and Zareth to figure out how we would make it a group blog. Luckily without much trouble as expected, we did all the blog settings and were ready to go. Carlos was in charge of the design of the blog and after that was done we started uploading out writings. We uploaded a small autobiography and our Writing Down the Bones entry. At first I had troubles organizing my thoughts clearly. I noticed that with the practice every blog assignment gave me, I started writing not only faster but with a clear mind on what my purpose was. The activity has been great so far and I have had the chance to see my classmates writing and share our thoughts and reactions to the topics discussed in class. I’m proud of my group and I know we have done a great job with the blog project.
