Blogging Experience


My blogging experience I thing it was very different from the rest, since I came to the class almost a month late, I had to caught up with a lot of posts.

So in a way, I had to write and learn everything very quickly. It was hard I’m not gonna lie, but I think this was very helpful in terms of spelling.

I’m very used to listen people talk in English (I watch a LOT of television, series and movies spoken in English) and I can understand what they’re saying without much trouble, but writing! uff It’s much harder for me to understand, sometimes I even have to read out loud so that I can hear my self saying the words and then I’ll get it.

So in that area it’s been useful.

What I didn’t liked it’s that even though it tries to be interactive, I didn’t feel like I was sharing anything with anybody, in every post added by me, I checked the other member’s too but there was no discussing in the comments of anything. And the other classmates didn’t know who I was and did not know (some of them) how to include me in there blogs so that was kind of lame.

One of the cool things about this is that you got to write about things that you’re interested in, it’s easier to talk about my favorite book or website, I had a lot of things to say and it wasn’t boring writing it, that’s a thing that it shouldn’t change because al least you could say your opinion on subjects and it makes you thing, for example the one where you had to post your favorite designer, I realized that I didn’t have one!! How weird is that, jaj so I don’t know I discover something new about my self that I didn’t knew.

Hi Camila,

Unfortunately, the strike messed up the interaction part of this class. By the time you signed up most of the Architecture students were worried about "studio" and the Design students were out on strike at least 2 weeks longer. In some classes I only had 4 students. A lot of students (such as yourself) caught up from home and although that wasn't the idea, I felt it unfair to penalise you (students) by not giving you the mark for the post. Comments were meant to be posted for every activity but only 4 students posted more than 3 comments in the whole semester. We also lost 2 classes due to holidays. I admit, this semester didn't go as planned!!
