Reflection

First, I must say that this class was definitely a learning experience. Prior to taking this class, I never participated in any type of blogging. I never actually heard of this term. I have become quite familiar with this internet practice. I was amazed at how many individuals utilize blogs as wells as the methods and rationales for their use. I saw many people use their blogs to advertise business, or to generate dialogue amongst individuals with different opinions. I was very intrigued that individuals could utilize blogs as a way to generate income through advertising. I learned this while exploring the Google blog site. I was unaware that if you advertise other vendors on your blog that you would be paid for each person who went to that vendor’s site. It is becoming extremely popular amongst internet users everywhere.
Additionally, I did enjoy the dialogue that was created as a result of the blogs. People gave their opinions and feedback which I found extremely useful. Initially, I was a bit overwhelmed at the entire process. However, after more assignments were given where we had to utilize the blog, I became more comfortable. After I have completed this course, I do not think I will utilize my blog. Due to the overwhelming schedule I have, I do not find it necessary to do so.
In conclusion, I did enjoy the class. I am proud that I was able to learn new tools in regards to the internet, and digital media overall. I think that this class has broadened my horizons as a internet user. I will consider using a blog to promote my business and perhaps obtain more clients.
