Reflecting back on April, both my co-writer and I can agree
it was a busy, eventful, and fun-packed adventure. We split up our writing crew into two
committees being lead by my co-writer and I.
My co-writer had three others along with her on the committee writing
four blogs per person. My committee consisted of two others and I enjoyed
writing some of my own blog posts for the challenge. She and I both agree that
writing our own along with editing others took up much more time and effort
than expected. However, the outcome was worth it in the end. We were able to
learn more about the blogging community and relate and interact with people all
over the world via the Internet. The blogs also taught each of us that everyone
has their own writing style and semantics, making each blog written very
unique. Some slackers, scattered in both committees, made the blogging
experience a little more complicated than necessary. But, it gave us room (as a
group ) to grow and learn from one another and gain patience and
discussions. Each time a blog was
posted, the person who wrote it was more than ecstatic to read the feedback
written by other bloggers. We were able
to gain more insight and see different perspectives from bloggers all around
the world. We were also able to voice our own opinions and perspectives about
other topics written by other authors and about our very own school. It was a
neat experience to see the differences amongst people and what they were
passionate about. In our Social Studies
classes, each class wrote their own set of A-Z blogs, which also added to the
mix of things. Due to the fact the blogs
were related to the class the students were enrolled in, they had to pick a
topic related to that class. It was
entertaining to see each student go a little wild in their ideas and how they
were going to get their point across in 350 words.
In summary, we were both new to the blogging community but
we were quickly welcomed by everyone and immediately felt like we belonged.
Thank you all for making our first blogging experience (possibly our last) a
memorable one!
