Final Blog

During this project, I have learned many new things about blogging. It is an easy way to put out all your ideas and opinions and back them up with information from the web. I liked voicing my opinion and backing it up. It gave me a chance to show how creative I am and logical in my descriptions. I think that I have a creative mind because I put forth ideas that are uncommon and unconsidered. I also posed a variety of unfamiliar questions. I used these questions as my titles. I think that my mind also works as a synthesizing mind. I took information from various websites (ex: Web MD) and used it as a tool to present my opinion. This made blogging easy and almost natural. After reading something on-line, I would go back to my blog and simply type all of my thoughts. I synthesizing mind takes information from dissipate sources, understands and evaluates that information objectively, and puts it together in ways to the synthesizer and to the other person. I feel that this kind of mind describes my attitude towards blogging the most.
As well as figuring out what kind of mind set I have, I also exemplified tools to make my writing more effective. For example, I exhibited curiosity in my topic. I started off with some basic information and thoughts and an attitude to elaborate on my topic. As my blog goes on, my posts become more intelligent and thought provoked. They are longer and focus deeper than the surface information. My blog is informative and it does a good job of creating new insights to unknown information. In forming my blog, I also experimented with new ideas. I found a blog online that was having a discussion about the effects of soft drink addiction. I used this in my blog to visit each view of my topic. Also, I created a blog asking people how many soft drinks they consumed each day. I used this information to see the how accurate my assumptions were. These writing tools helped me a lot to form my ideas and to back up what I already knew.
I realized that in writing my blog, it was easy to let my ideas flow. I have strong opinions on this topic and blogging gave me a chance to share with the public every angle of my position. I learned how simple blogging is. I have always thought that it was complicated and i was taught how easy it is. I am glad that this was one of our projects. I thought it was productive and the best tool we have used in this class as far as developing ideas.
