Blog Reflection by Felipe Del Rosario

          The creation of the blog this semester was easier. The reflection that I had to do were very interesting and understandable. It was very comfortable for me to write reflection on the blog because I know more about how it works because the semester before this one, I had to do one. The only difference is that the other semester was a little more demanding. The other semester we had to post links and images on every blog. However, even though its not necessary, I recognize that those details made the posts very cool and attractive to the readers eyes. The blog helped me a lot in my learning process because it made me create my own opinion on some themes and it made me analyze works made in class which helped me to understand them better.

The most interesting post of this blog is the graphic work reflection. This is a cool post because on the blog you can post a picture of the comic you and your partners did. Also, it’s cool to post pictures on the entries because it makes them look more attractive to read, even though, it could be a simple entry. Other interesting aspect of this blog is that I can comment on my friends’ posts. This is good because the critiques or opinions can help you become a better writer. 

The difference between the blog and the journal wasn’t so marked. In both you can write what you feel or what you think. However, In the first part of the journal, you could write whatever you wanted because it was free writing but, in the blog, you had to write about the theme that it was assigned. The journal was done by pen and this is important for me because I don’t write very good and I can misspell or write ugly in the journal. On the other hand, in the blog the reflections are typed and with the autocorrect of Word, you can correct or know when you misspell something. The second part of the journal (Multi-genre section) was quite interesting because It was a very creative way to compare things from the class to things or events of my life. For example, the work that I liked the most was the letter to the past me.

In this blog, I didn’t add many features to make my blog more interesting. I added an image in the post of the comic. I didn’t put many features because this semester I wasn’t so encouraged to do so. Also, I’m not a fan of decorating things. That’s why most of my works are simple and without decorations.   

In conclusion, the blog was easier this semester. Also, I liked more the blog this semester because it was more independent in terms of not having strict dates to the reflections. Also, the stories that I read in my class were very interesting which made the reflection and activities more interactive and unique. This kind of events and activities, like the blog, motivated me take the class with more enthusiasm.
