Four months, four blog portfolios, one of each to go.
Can I just start by saying how thrilled I am about both of those things?
Ahhh…
Now that I have that out of my system, I’d like to take a moment to discuss my depth, interaction, timeliness and coverage. Once again, I do in fact think that my humor adds to my posts. I don’t like to be overly heady — I want my writing to be accessible and readable to everyone. (I’m looking at you, Hayles.)
Depth:
I did a few noteworthy things this time around. I proposed my term project. I looked at the idea of human computers and history repeating itself. I also compared Borges to my favorite Goosebumps books. I’ve tried to make my blogs more thought out this time around.
Interaction:
Jessie commented on my post about Grobanites and Clay Shirkey. I had a couple conversations with others, as well. I told Beth Anne what I thought of her info graphic. However, I feel like eventually, we all somewhat forget about comments. (Well…ok, I hope I’m not the only one. I do try, though.)
Timeliness:
I did in fact get my blogs in on time. I REMEMBERED! Yes, they sometimes killed me to get the reading done, but I forced myself to soldier on and get everything done. That May 12th milestone helps a bit, too.
Coverage:
I did some other blogs as well. I wrote about society and coding. I talked about looking for the mouse and the Invisible College. Most importantly, I wrote about what I was thinking and made my blog into a sort of online Pensieve.
Look ma! I do go to Hogwarts!
