May- Value of Blogging

Describe the value of the blog and your intentions for continuing to use it.

I see the value in blogs as a reflective tools, but I am on-the-fence if whether or not this blogging added to my Kenan Fellowship.  I think these Kenan blogs would have been more effective if we had less entry requirements (maybe one every other month), yet had a requirement to respond to 2-3 people with each blog.  That way, there would have been engagement and dialogue across blogs.   Perhaps having prompts around articles or video clips, and then having us respond to those items, would have brought our blogs more together.   Because our Fellowships were all so different and personal, I felt like the blogs remained personal and more of a “checklist” item for each Fellow.  I would have loved for more conversation around unifying topics in order to make this something meaningful.
