Blogging. When I hear this word I picture someone sitting down to their desk to write about some trend in order to paint themselves as an internet expert in the area. I didn’t think blogging was for me. After all, what do I have to say that is important or worth reading? I found through completing the blogs that the writer gets more out of it than the intended audience. Having to write a blog forced me to reflect and think about what was happening. Knowing someone was going to read my reflections challenged me to be creative and concise. I enjoyed sharing what I was experiencing and receiving feedback from my peers. I would love to have a classroom blog (still thinking about this one). It is kind of ironic that I started this “blogging” process with a distorted view, and now I have to keep another blog for a new fellowship. I will be studying the integration of writing and technology through NC State. We also will be traveling to the University of Surrey, England for some of our course work. I am excited to have a platform to share what I am learning and experiencing abroad. I have included the link below if you are interested in my experience or interested in being a part of this experience next year.
This was an amazing year!
Cheers,
Erin
