I really enjoyed writing the blogs this semester. I honestly don’t think that it is an experience that changed my life but it was interesting to read about my classmate’s interests and lives that would not necessarily have been shared in a class setting. I think that is brought us as a class closer together, and we are much closer because of it. This is on the account that we know so much more about each others lives and each others interest.
Our class community versus our blog community, I believe are very different. Although we as a class are very close, and usually pretty open with each other we are still in an academic community. Therefore when we get of topic we have to be brought on topic, we do not openly flat out disagree with each other out loud (most of the time), and we don’t always say our opinion to each other. In our blogs however it is much easier to be honest, it’s also much easier to disagree with each, because there is no immediate reaction. Most everyone has at some point gotten off topic in their blogs, with is also more natural, and more of our own personalities.
Our blog community compared to other online communities that I have belonged is very different. Our blog community was a much more academic then any other online community I
have belonged. Facebook the only other online community I have belonged to is much more personal, and more of a reflection of your own personality.

I agree, I think this blog assignment allowed us to share our opinions more openly where in class we might not. I also agree that it brought us closer as a class.
I so agree it was fun to share our opinions with each other and it did bring us together as a class
