I’d say I blogged quite a bit, it’s an effective way of me testing my ideas, and that was fun. I’d say I didn’t get the amount of feedback on posts that I’d have liked, but that is not necessarily my fault. This is a fine line I have to say, whereas requiring comments and blogs weekly would get that, it runs the risks of the academic stigma, and the loss of interest and meaning. There is no clear right answer to what should be done about this, and I’ll leave that critique. I think blogging is a great alternative to discussion labs, as if used properly it’s essentially like a virtual discussion board of the 2000s, but with more access, and more potential for cross-collaboration and co-creation.
As for my blogging journey, I’d say it wasn’t as personable as I wanted it to be, nor did it deserve to be so. I was very comfortable with this form of writing, I never did blog on the philosophy behind Villains, but I did elaborate on my own mythos behind my story. I will miss this in a sense, but It served it’s purpose, Mark out.
