I’m a huge fan of blogs whether it’s a sports blog or music blog and I’ve always wanted to have my own blog, but this is the first time I’ve written my own blog. I thought the blogs were highly beneficial in regards to this course because they were a deviation from the boring and conventional papers from other classes. Also I thought using blogs introduced everybody to another media outlet if they had never used blogs before.
When we were originally asked to embed pictures and links into the blogs themselves, I had no idea what that meant. Luckily, we could just paste the pictures and links into the blogs themselves.
My favorite blog post was the “All in the Family” blog post because I thought it was different than most of the other blog posts. I thought most of the blog posts were very similar in that most of them were to create your own definition of a concept, describe your new definition, the definition given in lecture, and than relate your definition to an example. The blog post on the studio system, the blog post on the radio industry in the 1920s, the blog post on the TV sitcom, and multiple other blog posts match up to that same structure. I would make the blog prompts more diverse in the coming years.
I would recommend the blogs in the future because the course name was Introduction to Media Studies and through using the blogs; I was introduced into using an alternate media outlet. I think using the blogs makes students more interested in the class because they are more interactive than writing papers. Also, having to write a blog every week makes students be aware of what’s going on during the lectures rather than writing a paper where a student didn’t need to show up to class.
Yes, you can use my blog in a paper or report.
