Having a blog this past months has been a new
and adventurous feeling. I sometimes struggle talking in front of people and
sometimes I can’t comment in class the things I believe in since I like to take
my time thinking what I’m going to say. I admit it; I’m slow in that aspect but
is something I wish to little by little get better at. But having a blog where I can read something,
organize my thoughts and then write about it makes me actually write my opinion
without any hurry and learn a bit about my ideas and me. It’s quite nice to
stay some time for yourself where writing in a paper with a pen could be eternal
for one but in the computer is more confortable and fluent. Not only that,
having my group members comment about what I think about my different ideas and
them sharing their own ideas or agreeing to mine is a good way to see different
points of view. It’s not something I’m use to because this is not my first blog
but I’m not use to those kinds of feedback. I really enjoyed the most with that
aspect. With that said, I accomplish my goal. I made this blog for my English
class with the purpose to escape from reality and clear my mind in some sort of
way where I felt free writing different topics and opinions that I believe in
and that’s what I did.
I find it easier to write in the blog just like you. It is also nice to be able to check on the works of others later so you can give a proper opinion about them and the topics discus at class later when you have organized your thoughts and have some free time. Seeing the comments everyone writes is indeed a good way to learn about other peoples different points of view and see what part of the reading caught the readers attention the most. It was indeed a very strange adventure.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that its easier to write on a computer as the words flow more fluently and its easier to backspace when you make a mistake instead of erasing a sentence. These types of feedback were difficult to follow, I agree, maybe that's why I had such problems with them. When it comes to writing I find it difficult to stick to established rules and often deviate from them. I'm glad you had a good experience. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that you have enjoyed this experience. To me it's really interesting when you say that for you it's easier to write in the computer, instead of on paper, because everything is more fluent. I'm the complete opposite, I like writing with pen and paper. I feel like the computer blocks my mind, but this blog activity has definitely helped me overcome that. I'm more comfortable writing in the computer now.
