The final entry on this blog is to be a reflective wrap-up.
I have really enjoyed having a blog to air my thoughts on various aspects of the materialin this course. I wish that the blog was extending through the rest of the class! And that there was more interaction with my fellow students within the blog.
I learned so much with this blog, in a kind of constructivist way. I had a couple of themes and some simple, topical uploads. With my first post on "affordances", I began the "concept of the day" theme. In this first post, I extended on an idea brought up in one of the readings in Module 2b. Writing about something, putting it into my own words and adding pictures, really helps me to make the material my own. The other theme in this blog was "Tools." In many ways tools are synonymous with technology. The "Paen to the .pdf" post was meant to be humorous, but also to call attention to an overlooked tool that is not usually considered glamorous.
As a future instructional designer, I'd consider this blogging exercise to be one that really stretches the student, not only to use the technology of the blog, but to use it in a creative/constructivist way.
