Where to start? This assignment directed me to create my new blog and online research Journal. The instructions sent me to Blogger.Com, or is it Blogspot.com?, (I'm not sure which) to set up this online work space. I really couldn't tell you which it is, because the whole process was so inhumanly annoying I'm not quite sure where I am, and an seriously hoping I've got it somewhat right so I can get the correct amount of points! Why we had to go to an outside locale, I know not. Moodle has a blog feature right on your profile. Why wouldn't this suffice? But I digress. After fighting my way through three different Gmail addresses, since the first two apparently did not have permission to view the blog home page, here I am. The one thing I have learned? Not only do I despise blogs, the fact that I now have to write one has me so thoroughly annoyed I think I might be mistaken for a true blogger! Post after post of nothing very important to say, simply rants and anger and rants. Hopefully further assignments will steer me in the directions I need to go.
I belong to Facebook, as does most of the world, and enjoy when I can read the little day to day bits from my friends, but none of them believe that is anything more than the equivalent of sending out a mass text message.
I can honestly admit I prefer typing to actually handwriting my thought and words. I guess my deep seated aversion and hatred for blogs is too many people take the words they read in a blog as the Gospel truth. That is just not the case!!!
Hi, William:
ReplyDeleteI hope the proceeding weeks assignments and blog posts aren't as vitriolic but as you say, you join angry company online. Thank you for setting up your class blog.
I haven't explored the blog function on Moodle and part of this class is about exploring and understanding the internet but I will take it under advisement. Plus I thought this blog account offers a bit more personalization.
For the rest of this class, you will be recording your assignments. I do ask that you reflect on the process but hopefully that won't be rant worthy.
Cheers,
Andrea
Andrea, I have to admit, I fell victim to the "angry rant syndrome" and let it fly. I do apologize and wish to assure you I am a much cheerier person normally.
